The Gophers’ released their depth chart for this Saturday’s Homecoming game against Rutgers earlier this morning, and both quarterback Mitch Leidner (concussion) and offensive tackle Jonah Pirsig (ankle) are listed as out. This means Minnesota will again lean on former walk-on Conor Rhoda under center and late JUCO transfer signee Donnell Greene at left tackle for another game. Garrison Wright, who was hobbled against Maryland with an ankle injury, is back starting at right tackle.
Brandon Lingen, who returned against Maryland after being sidelined for weeks with a broken clavicle, has worked his way back onto the depth chart, with Nate Wozniak continuing to hold down the starting spot at tight end.
