Quentin Redding, WR

Junior wide receiver Quentin Redding will not be on the field for the remainder of the season, as he suffered an undisclosed season-ending injury. He was the team's punt returner and had some action before suffering the injury, as he had two punt returns for five yards and a 14-yard kickoff return.

Maverick Baranowski, LB

Linebacker Maverick Baranowski is dealing with a shoulder injury, which will be a major issue for coach P.J. Fleck and Minnesota. Baranowski is a starting linebacker and is now second in the program with 36 tackles, 0.5 sacks and a pass deflection on the year.

He is officially listed as questionable for this Week 7 game but missed last week's game due to the injury.
