Impact After operating as Marshall's clear lead back throughout the regular season, Ali was given a secondary role Saturday and was outcarried by Ethan Payne 19-14.

Questionable for Week 9 Ali (undisclosed) remains questionable to suit up for Saturday's showdown with Coastal Carolina, Cassidy Wood of Sports Zone reports.
Impact Head coach Charles Huff did not provide an update on Ali's injury status heading into Saturday's matchup with the Chanticleers. The junior running back has been incredibly productive when active, logging 124 carries for 641 yards and 11 rushing touchdowns, along with 15 receptions for 144 yards and one receiving touchdown across six games. If Ali remains unable to suit up, Ethan Payne appears in line to handle the starting duties for a second-straight week.

Marshall running back Rasheen Ali is taking a leave of absence for undisclosed reasonsAUGUST 23, 2022 • Associated Press
Taking time off Ali (undisclosed) is dealing with an undisclosed issue, and there is no expected timetable for his return, Grant Traylor of The Huntington Herald-Dispatch reports.
Impact Marshall head coach, Charles Huff, didn't disclose much surrounding the issue, but stated that Ali would "be away from the team for some". The team has decided to keep the nature of the issue private out of respect for Ali. The sophomore running back had a massive breakout season for Marshall last season, totaling 1,401 rushing yards and 23 touchdowns, along with 46 receptions for 342 yards and 1 receiving touchdown. If Ali is unable to start the season, Sheldon Evans will likely handle a large role until he is able to return.
