[NU Sports] Any word on CJ yet?

[Beamsley, Jeff]

Don't think that Persa has actually played in a game yet, so doesn't he
retain the ability to claim a red-shirt for this year?

If so, what is the value, even if Kafka struggles, of burning a year of
eligibility when CJ is likely to be back before the season is over?

If Kafka is injured, then it might be a different story.

In the Monday press conference, Fitz said CJ's status was "questionable"
and that he would not be practicing early in the week and his status
would be updated later on (the normal injury report comes out on
Thursday).

The Sun Times reported that CJ's right hamstring was strained but was
apparently not torn (assuming to be confirmed by MRI), which means he
just has to get well enough to be able to run well.

Chatter on the message boards indicates that it is doubtful he will
start - due to the nature of hamstring injuries it will basically make
him a statue in the backfield, and NU will need a mobile QB to evade
pressure and make plays with his feet on Saturday.  Therefore, it is
likely that Kafka will start (although don't count out playing time for
Persa if things don't go well).

I think the real status is that nobody really knows who will start until
they jog out onto the field Saturday morning.

Our mail server is having intermittent problems that are affecting mail
delivery to several ISPs, notably Comcast and Roadrunner.  We're trying
to figure out a workaround.
