Questionable for regular-season opener Ball (undisclosed) is questionable for West Virginia's regular-season opener Sept. 5 against Coastal Carolina, Schuyler Callihan of SI.com reports.

Impact After getting nicked up in fall camp, Ball is on the recovery path and attempting to get to 100 percent before West Virginia's regular season begins.

During his two-season tenure with MSU, Ball caught the ball only twice, though he did not miss a pass with his two targets.

Nicked up in camp Ball (undisclosed) has been limited during West Virginia's fall camp, Spencer Ripchik of The Dominion Post reports.

Impact Ball is a legitimate challenger for West Virginia's top spot at tight end, so him being limited and potentially out does not bode well for his immediate chances of being a TE1, especially with Ryan Ward (undisclosed) also out. Both tight ends will have just over three weeks to get their physical health in order before Coastal Carolina comes to visit WVU on Sept. 5.
