Gamecocks starter to miss the next 3-4 weeks; Muschamp updates injuries

South Carolina football coach Will Muschamp marveled his starting right tackle’s situation wasn’t worse.

Dylan Wonnum missed Saturday’s game against Kentucky. He’s going to miss the next 3-4 weeks after. He got high-lowed and hurt his ankle against Missouri.

“How it’s not broken, I don’t know,” Muschamp said.

Freshman Jaylen Nichols filled in and held his own.

Muschamp said he didn’t have any update on an ankle injury that Rico Dowdle suffered late in the game, or a potentially bad shoulder injury for Caleb Kinlaw.

Dowdle later said he rolled up his ankle after someone fell on it. He said he felt fine.

Muschamp also said defensive back Jamel Cook and lineman Keir Thomas were not with the team. A friend of theirs in Miami had dies in a car accident and the pair went to his funeral.
