Questionable Saturday Cross (undisclosed) is questionable for Saturday's game at UAB.

Impact Cross' availability has yet to be decided as he deals with an undisclosed injury. He has appeared in five games this season and has not made a catch, so he's not expected to do much even if he's available.

Records nine snaps Cross (undisclosed) logged nine snaps during Memphis' 38-16 win Saturday at Georgia State.

Impact At tight end, Cross logged Memphis' fourth-most snaps. For the stat, Christian Ross, Bryce Anderson and Matt Adcock all recorded double digits Saturday. The last two also logged at least one reception. For now, the limitations of Cross' statistical upside remain.

Unused during Week 1 Cross (undisclosed) did not play during Memphis' 45-10 win Saturday against UT-Chattanooga.

Impact Unsurprisingly, Memphis' depth chart not including Cross indicated that he would sit out Saturday. Two of the Tigers' tight ends -- Christian Ross and Matt Adcock -- logged multiple targets.

Omitted from initial depth chart Cross (undisclosed) is not listed on Memphis' initial Week 1 depth chart, Jonah Dylan of The Memphis Commercial Appeal reports.

Impact Cross suffered an injury during the Tigers' spring game, which is likely the main cause of his omission from the team's depth chart. The 6-foot-5 tight end's return timeline remains unknown, as does whether he could play against Chattanooga on Saturday.

Suffered injury in spring game Cross suffered an undisclosed injury during the spring game, according to Jonah Dylan of the Memphis Commercial Appeal.

Impact The nature of Thompson's injury is unclear, and it's hard to project whether he'll be available for the Tigers' first game of the season against UT-Chattanooga on Saturday, Aug. 30. If he's unable to play, then Christian Ross and Luke Logan would be the next in line to see snaps at tight end.

Commits to Memphis Cross has committed to Memphis, Pete Nakos of On3.com reports.

Impact Cross failed to record a catch in three seasons at Penn State, prompting the junior to enter the transfer portal. A former four-star recruit out of Milwaukee, Cross figures to see a more significant role in Memphis' offense.

Plans to enter portal Cross plans to enter the transfer portal, Pete Nakos of On3.com reports.

Impact Cross' decision comes after a 2024 regular season that saw him log zero counting stats. Even with Penn State's team bound for postseason action, he is not expected to record any.

Off injury report Cross (undisclosed) is off the injury report for Saturday's game versus Bowling Green.

Impact Cross missed the season opener for undisclosed reasons, and now no longer appears on the team's injury report. Although he sits low on the tight end depth chart, he may see some time Saturday with the game expected to be a blowout.

SEPTEMBER 7, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Out for Week 1 Cross (undisclosed) is listed as out for Penn State's opener against West Virginia.

Impact Cross has played extremely sparingly on his Penn Sate career, and has yet to record a catch for the Nittany Lions. He's not expected to be a regular part of this offense whatsoever, and an "out" designation in Week 1 certainly doesn't help his case for playing time.
