As reported here, Sands is dealing with some shoulder issues. He is a sophomore, so he has time to heal. Warren Ball, Van Edwards, and Manny Morgan will provide depth at RB. Keep in mind, both Van and Manny changed numbers this year, so when you see #7 or #9 in the backfield at the PSU game, don't be surprised. As a side note, Chuck Turfe does nothing but gain positive yards in practice. East High School's Jemarulin Suggs is also getting carries in practice.
