Maryland’s Taivon Jacobs out for season with knee injury

Maryland wide receiver Taivon Jacobs will miss the remainder of the season with a right knee injury, Coach Randy Edsall announced Monday afternoon.

 

This is the second major knee injury for Jacobs.

Sad news regarding Taivon... hope he can rebound strong next season. This young man is super talented.

So that's the third WR lost over the past month. Wow.

Tough news for Taivon. He'll be eligible for a medical redshirt, so we'll see how that process plays out.

 

New WR depth chart as released by Randy Edsall today:

 

Split End: 1. Deon Long, 2. Amba Etta-Tawo

Flanker: 1. Marcus Leak, 2. Malcolm Culmer

Slot: 1. Stefon Diggs, 2. Jacquille Veii

 

This is actually the starting group that I predicted to start the season. Leak is very talented, and this is still an extremely deep group. Each backup on the outside has a lot of starting experience, and Veii is getting better in the slot.

 

Elvis Dennah is now Sean Davis' backup at strong safety after A.J. Hendy's suspension. No other changes to the depth chart for the USF game. Yannik Cudjoe-Virgil and Cole Farrand are still listed as starters at linebacker despite seeing very little of the field last week. Against a pro-style USF offense, they'll be seeing a ton of the field on Saturday afternoon.
