UConn vs Syracuse injury report: List of players injured ahead of Week 13 showdown

UConn vs Syracuse is set to kick off on Saturday at 12 p.m. ET in a game where the injury report could be a factor. The UConn Huskies (7-3) are on a hot streak, having won their last three games.

They will also be rested for this matchup as the team is coming off an open week. Their most recent game was a 31-23 win over UAB.

Conversely, Syracuse is not coming off an open week, but they are coming off a win. The Orange defeated California 33-25 last Saturday. Despite having an equal record to UConn, they have had an up-and-down stretch lately, losing two of their last four games.

Injuries will be a factor for both teams when this game kicks off. However, UConn is lucky to not have as many injuries as most other college football teams.
