Indiana Football Coach Curt Cignetti provides injury updates

D.J. Matthews and Josh Henderson's status unknown

During his weekly press conference, Curt Cignetti disclosed that wide receiver D.J. Matthews and left tackle Josh Henderson's status for this week's game against Western Kentucky remains uncertain. Matthews suffered an undisclosed injury against Illinois, while Henderson left the game with an apparent leg injury.

Cignetti did not provide a specific timeline for their return, saying only that they are "day-to-day." Matthews has been a key contributor for the Hoosiers this season, leading the team in receiving yards and touchdowns. Henderson has started every game at left tackle for Indiana.

In other injury news, Cignetti said that running back Shaun Shivers is expected to return to practice this week after missing the Illinois game with an ankle injury. Shivers is Indiana's leading rusher this season, with 368 yards and three touchdowns.

The Hoosiers will host Western Kentucky on Saturday at Memorial Stadium. Kickoff is set for noon ET.
