Donaven McCulley Out for Indiana's Week 2 Game Against Western Illinois

Hoosiers Wide Receiver Sidelined with Upper-Body Injury

Bloomington, Ind. - Indiana University football wide receiver Donaven McCulley will miss the Hoosiers' week two game against Western Illinois with an upper-body injury, head coach Tom Allen announced Monday.

Injury Details and Timeline

The nature of McCulley's injury has not been disclosed, but Allen indicated that it is an upper-body issue.

The timeline for McCulley's return is uncertain, but he is expected to miss multiple games.

Impact on Indiana's Offense

McCulley is a key contributor to the Indiana offense, leading the team in receiving yards (171) and touchdowns (2) through the first two games of the season.

His absence will leave a void in the Hoosiers' passing attack, which will need to find other receivers to step up in his absence.

Potential Replacements

Among the players who could see increased playing time in McCulley's absence are:

• Javon Swinton
• Emery Simmons
• Dasan McCullough

All three receivers have shown promise in limited action this season and will be counted on to contribute more in McCulley's absence.

Outlook for McCulley's Return

Allen did not provide a specific timeline for McCulley's return, but he expressed optimism that the wide receiver would be back on the field soon.

McCulley's return will be a significant boost to the Indiana offense, which will need all hands on deck to compete in the Big Ten Conference this season.
