Navy football injury report Week 15

The Navy Midshipmen injury report has a lot of offensive players on it heading into Week 15 against the Army Black Knights.

Tai Lavatai, quarterback

Senior quarterback Tai Lavatai has been the team's starting QB throughout the season but has not played since Oct. 21. He has missed the previous four games with an undisclosed injury. He is currently listed as questionable for this game.

So far this season, he is 40-of-75 (53.3 completion percentage) for 522 yards with four passing touchdowns and two interceptions through the air. He has carried the ball 56 times for 171 yards (3.1 yards per carry), with two rushing touchdowns on the ground.

Xavier Arline, quarterback

Senior Xavier Arline is the backup QB and has been playing instead of Lavatai. However, he left last week's game with an ankle injury but is expected to play and is listed as probable for this game. If Lavatai doesn't play, Arline would be in line to get the start.

He has done pretty well in limited action as he has gone 23-of-42 (54.8 completion percentage) for 320 yards with two touchdowns and an interception. He's carried the ball 72 times for 251 yards (3.5 yards per carry), with two rushing touchdowns.

Nathan Kent, wide receiver

Sophomore wide receiver Nathan Kent missed the last game with an undisclosed injury and is not expected to play. He has been a promising receiving option for the team, as he has four receptions for 77 yards (19.3 yards per catch) with one touchdown. He has been the top WR in the program statistically, so this will be a big blow.

Regis Velez, wide receiver

Junior Regis Velez has been a threat for the team. He has three catches for 71 yards (23.7 yards per reception) with a pair of touchdown catches. He is currently dealing with an undisclosed injury and is listed as questionable for this game.
