Morris II, Burke will miss NC State game
George Morris II and Travon Burke will miss Syracuse’s 3:30 game against North Carolina State on Saturday due to upper-body injuries, SU Athletics announced in an injury report Thursday night.
Morris, a redshirt freshman, has appeared in all five games for the Orange. He’s third on the team with 26 rushing attempts, totaling 114 yards on the ground and 20 in the air. Morris ripped off a 22-yard run against Wagner. He has also returned kicks in all five games, averaging 19 yards per return.
Burke, a junior, made the team as a walk-on for 2011 preseason camp and switched from linebacker to running back early in camp. He saw time against Wagner, Tulane and Clemson.
The report did not list any other players as doubtful, questionable or probable. Cornerback Brandon Reddish returns for Syracuse after missing the Clemson game on Saturday with a lower-body injury.
