Dressed and warming up Desrosiers (lower leg) is dressed and warming up ahead of Saturday's game versus Arkansas, Frank Bonner II of The Daily Memphian reports.

Impact Desrosiers, who missed the last two games with a lower leg injury, is trending towards making his return Saturday versus Arkansas. Him warming up pregame does not guarantee his availability, but it's certainly a good sign.

SEPTEMBER 20 • ROTOWIRE

Once again day-to-day Desrosiers (lower leg) is day-to-day, Jonah Dylan of The Memphis Commercial Appeal reports.

Impact Desrosiers was day-to-day before Memphis' latest game Saturday against Troy. He did not play then. Still, his most recent update indicates that the Tigers may use him during their upcoming matchup, currently Sept. 20 against Arkansas.

SEPTEMBER 15 • ROTOWIRE

Officially out Saturday Desrosiers (lower leg) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against Troy, John Maddox of On3.com reports.

Impact Desrosiers was spotted with a boot on during last week's game against Georgia State, and he'll now miss his second game of the season at Troy. The 5-foot-11 senior tallied four carries for 26 yards and a touchdown during Memphis' opener in Week 1. His next chance to see the field will be next Saturday against Arkansas back home.

SEPTEMBER 13 • ROTOWIRE

Held out of early warmups Desrosiers (lower leg) is not on the field for Memphis' early warmups ahead of Saturday's game against Troy, Jonah Dylan of The Memphis Commercial Appeal reports.

Impact Desrosiers, who was spotted with a boot on during last week's game against Georgia State, has yet to take the field ahead of Saturday's game against the Trojans. The 5-foot-11 senior, who tallied four carries for 26 yards and a touchdown during Memphis' opener in Week 1, projects to be the Tigers' lead option when healthy. If Desrosiers is ultimately unable to suit up, Sutton Smith would be expected to handle another heavy workload in Week 3.

SEPTEMBER 13 • ROTOWIRE

Officially day-to-day Desrosiers (lower body) is day-to-day for Memphis, per John Maddox of On3.com.

Impact Desrosiers reportedly traveled with Memphis for its road game against Georgia State, but the tailback simply wasn't ready to play from an injury standpoint. The fact that he traveled with the team and appeared to give it a go is a good sign for Desrosiers, who will get his next chance to play Saturday against Troy.

SEPTEMBER 8 • ROTOWIRE

Officially ruled out Desrosiers (lower body) has been spotted in a boot and isn't available for Memphis in Week 2, per Jonah Dylan of The Memphis Commercial Appeal.

Impact Desrosiers wasn't spotted in warmups, but seeing him not dressed out and in a boot serves as official confirmation that the starting tailback will be out. Sutton Smith should assume the lead halfback role for Memphis in Week 2.

SEPTEMBER 6 • ROTOWIRE

Not spotted in warmups Desrosiers (lower body) is absent from warmups ahead of Saturday's game versus Georgia State, John Maddox of On3.com reports.

Impact Barring a late addition to warmups, it's safe to assume Derosiers will not take the field in Saturday's contest. Assuming that's the case, Sutton Smith should claim the lead backfield role for the Tigers, while Frank Peasant and Makari Bodiford are candidates to see some work behind him.

SEPTEMBER 6 • ROTOWIRE

Didn't suffer long-term injury Desrosiers (lower body) didn't suffer a long-term injury in Memphis' season opener against Chattanooga, head coach Ryan Silverfield told Jonah Dylan of The Memphis Commercial Appea...

Impact Echoing the words of Sutton Smith, who revealed Sunday that Desrosiers hadn't suffered a long-term injury, it seems the star tailback could have an outside chance to be available to face Georgia State on Saturday. Prior to the injury, Desrosiers had accumulated 26 yards and a touchdown on four attempts for the Tigers. If he's unable to play Saturday, then Sutton and Frank Peasant are expected to see more carries out of the backfield.

SEPTEMBER 1 • ROTOWIRE

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.
