Sutton Smith - Touchdown in first game back Smith tallied nine rushes for 60 yards and one touchdown and reeled in their only target for two yards during Saturday's 45-10 win over Chattanooga.
Impact After tearing his ACL in the season opener last year, Smith scored a touchdown in his first game back and saw his carries increase with Greg Desrosiers exiting the game with a lower-body injury. He could end up playing a much bigger role than expected these next few weeks, with Desrosiers' status still unknown.

Frank Peasant - Touchdown in season opener Peasant had six carries for 61 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 45-10 win over Chattanooga.
Impact Entering his sixth season of college football, Peasant impressed in his Memphis debut. The Middle Tennessee State transfer played a bigger role than expected after starting running back Greg Desrosiers went down with a lower-body injury. With his status still unknown, Peasant could see more carries the next few weeks, along with Sutton Smith.

Greg Desrosiers Jr. - Avoids serious injury Fellow running back Sutton Smith revealed that Desrosiers (lower body) is all good and did not suffer a serious injury in Memphis' season opener against Chattanooga, per Jonah Dyla...
Impact Desrosiers exited the contest due to a lower body ailment but appears to have avoided a serious injury. It's very good news for the 5-foot-11 running back after he previously missed a good portion of the 2024 season with a broken clavicle and earned the top spot on the depth chart heading into 2025. Prior to the injury, Desrosiers had accumulated 26 yards and a touchdown on four attempts for the Tigers. Despite the positive news, his status will remain worth monitoring throughout the week leading up to the team's matchup against Georgia State.
