USC vs Minnesota injury report Week 6: Updates on Eric Gentry, David Kemp, Akili Arnold and more

The USC vs. Minnesota matchup features two teams headed in different directions, and the injury report will always be a factor. The Golden Gophers (2-3) will host the No. 11-ranked Trojans (3-1) on Saturday at 7:30 p.m. ET.

USC is coming off a 38-21 win over Wisconsin and also collected an impressive 27-20 win over LSU earlier in the season. The Trojans' only loss this year was to No. 10 Michigan. Meanwhile, Minnesota is coming off its second loss in a row, a hard-fought 27-24 loss to the Wolverines.

USC injury report Week 6

USC has been lucky to avoid major injuries to its star players this season. However, there are a few players who might not be available for the game against Minnesota.

Eric Gentry

Linebacker Eric Gentry is questionable for the Minnesota showdown. He had a neck issue in last week's game against Wisconsin and needed to be carted to the locker room. Missing Gentry would hurt the USC defense as he leads the team in tackles (30) and sacks (two).

Akili Arnold

Safety Akili Arnold is also questionable for Saturday's game. Arnold suffered an injury against Michigan in Week 4 and did not play this week. The sixth-year transfer has 13 tackles this season.

Minnesota injury report Week 6

Minnesota has several injuries that could impact their preparation for the USC matchup. These players are either questionable or out for Saturday's game.

David Kemp

Kicker David Kemp is questionable for this week's game against USC. He is dealing with an undisclosed injury and has not yet suited up for a contest this season for the Golden Gophers.

Theorin Randle

Defensive lineman Theorin Randle is dealing with an undisclosed injury. He is listed as out on the injury report, and as a result, will not take the field against USC.

Quentin Redding

Wide receiver Quentin Redding is a depth player who mostly sees action on special teams. However, he is out for the game against USC with an undisclosed injury. He is expected to miss the rest of the season for Minnesota.

Jaylin Hicks

Defensive lineman Jaylin Hicks is battling an undisclosed injury and will not take the field for the Golden Gophers this week.

Kaeden Johnson

Running back Kaeden Johnson is only a freshman and has not had an ideal start to his college career. He has been battling an undisclosed injury all year and will miss this week's game.
