TCU already faced a huge challenge this preseason, replacing five all-conference performers from last year's defense.

That challenge hasn't gotten any easier, with several projected starters already battling nagging injuries.

According to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram's Carlos Mendez, defensive end Mike Tuaua (foot), defensive tackle Davion Pierson (undisclosed) and cornerback Torrance Mosley (groin) have all missed practice time.
