Lying in bed is not what Syracuse needs Ervin Philips to be doing.
The team’s most versatile offensive weapon will be out 3-4 weeks after having surgery last Tuesday to repair his meniscus and his roommate, wide receiver Steve Ishmael, said that’s what the sophomore hybrid has been up to around their apartment.
Granted, his second-half absence had no adverse effect in a 47-0 drubbing of Rhode Island after he caught two touchdowns in the first frame. Nor did it in a 30-17 win against Wake Forest. And it probably won’t against Central Michigan next weekend.
