The USC Trojans just released their official injury report ahead of their 8:00 PM PT kickoff against the Michigan State Spartans.
Starting wide receiver Ja’Kobi Lane is officially listed as QUESTIONABLE. He is out with the team during the initial warmup period. He is wearing shorts and not the bottom half of the uniform yet, but the fact that he is warming up indicates that he could certainly play tonight.
He did seem limited, however, during the warmup period. If I were a betting man, I would guess that he does not play tonight. Or if he does suit up, he may see very limited action.
***Update
USC Trojans out now in full pads for final warmups and walk throughs. I have NOT seen Ja'Kobi Lane yet. Looks like he may end up being held out tonight.

I am not seeing Ja’Kobi Lane during the team’s padded final warmups. Barring a last-minute change, looks like he will be OUT tonight.
As far as players that are out, no surprises in terms of what we have been reporting throughout the week. The players OUT are as follows:
- DB Prophet Brown
- DB Chasen Johnson
- DB Alex Graham
- WR Zacharyus Williams
- RB Bryan Jackson
- K Caden Chittenden
USC Trojans Final Injury Report
We have been eagerly waiting for the debut of freshman DB Alex Graham. That will not happen tonight against Michigan State.
The Trojans have a bye after next week’s game at Illinois. Perhaps we will see his debut on October 18th against Michigan.

WR Prince Strachan is not listed on the injury report, and he was with the team during warmups, so it looks like he will be good to go. That will add some important depth if Ja’Kobi Lane is unable to go or if he is limited throughout the game.
