Darius Taylor - Could be done for day Taylor departed Saturday's game versus Northwestern State due to injury and could be done for the day, Ryan Burns of 247Sports.com reports.
Impact Per GopherHole.com, Taylor pulled up and limped off the field with what appeared to be a hamstring injury, and it seems highly unlikely he'll return if that's the case. Minnesota should have little trouble handling Saturday's foe without Taylor, so there's little reason to push the star back into action again. If he sits out the remainder, A.J. Turner could take over the lead-back duties. Taylor tallied three carries for 20 yards and a catch for another nine yards prior to his exit.

Sam Henson - Unavailable again Saturday Henson (undisclosed) is out for Saturday's game against Northwestern State.
Impact It will be another absence for Henson, who will be unable to get his potential last year off the ground. Up next for him and the Gophers is Power Conference action at California in Week 3.

Cristian Driver - Still unavailable Driver (undisclosed) won't play Saturday against Northwestern State.
Impact It'll be the second straight game Driver's missed to open the season. He logged seven receptions for 49 yards and a touchdown in 2024.
