After rushing for 89 yards and a touchdown against North Carolina Central University on Saturday, JMU senior tailback Eugene Holloman is being withheld from practice this week due to a quadricep injury.
Apparently, Holloman injured his quad at Duke but neglected to alert the JMU coaching staff. After struggling to maintain stride in the open field against NCCU, Holloman told his coaches what was bothering him.
JMU coach Mickey Matthews said he couldn't estimate when Holloman will begin practicing again, or if he will be able to play Saturday in Madison's conference opener against Massachusetts.
Meanwhile, sophomore tailback Jamal Sullivan met with a doctor today to have an apparatus attached to his left thumb, which he injured in August. Sullivan may be able to make his season debut Saturday, but the coaching staff will evaluate his status in the coming days as well.
With Madison's top two running backs both day-to-day for Saturday's game, JMU's chances are hanging in the balance.
