AUBURN — The most important staff members of the week for Auburn running backs are the trainers.
Among Kerryon Johnson, Kamryn Pettway and Kam Martin, Auburn doesn’t have a tailback on its depth chart who isn’t dealing with a nagging injury.
“I really expect all the guys to be ready to play,” Auburn head coach Gus Malzahn said. “It’s just a matter of how healthy we can get them before the game starts.”
Auburn (4-1, 2-0 SEC) hosts Ole Miss (2-2, 0-1) as a three-touchdown home favorite this weekend, even though all three of its top rushers are battling injuries.
