Syracuse football: Jamal Custis among inactive players vs. Colgate

Though the Syracuse Orange haven’t played a game yet this season, the list of inactive players still has quite a few names on it for today’s matchup with Colgate.

Syracuse.com’s Stephen Bailey noted players failing to dress on Twitter earlier. We compile that full list here. No major surprises here. But just in case you’re curious where they may be throughout the course of the contest:

Offense

QB Rex Culpepper

QB Mo Hasan

WR Jamal Custis

WR Kenterius Womack

WR Clay Austin

WR Tyrone Perkins

OT Liam O’Sullivan

OL Mike Clark

Defense

DE Jaquwan Nelson

LB Tim Walton

CB Wayne Morgan

S Devon Clarke

Special Teams

K Alex Grossman

K/P Nathan Cooney

LS Nathan Hines

Rodney Williams had originally been included in Bailey’s list of potentially inactive players, but it appears he’s now in pads and working with the rest of the defensive backs. Williams had missed time in practice and was not included in the depth chart released this past Monday.

Obviously not great to see Nelson on there given the lack of depth at end. Additionally, it’s unexpected to see Custis inactive given his presence on the depth chart behind Steve Ishmael earlier in the week. Overall, quite a few injuries to wide receivers -- which could have an impact as the game wears on tonight.

Still plenty of players healthy for this one, however. Kickoff’s coming up very soon.
