Last week, Syracuse’s offense was suddenly infused with the re-additions of its top two talents at wide receiver. Now both are back on the shelf.

Syracuse head coach Scott Shafer said during his weekly press conference Thursday that H-backs Ashton Broyld and Brisly Estime will both be unavailable for Saturday’s 3 p.m. game against North Carolina State. Cornerback Wayne Morgan and offensive tackle Ivan Foy are still out, Shafer added. They have missed time due to lower-body injuries.

The head coach sighed heavily before answering the question about Foy and Morgan.

“Yeah, they’re doing,” Shafer said before sighing again, “they’re doing a good job. They won’t be ready for this weekend.”

SU released its full injury report a few hours after Shafer’s press conference. Also ruled out for Saturday’s game are: linebacker Luke Arciniega (lower body), wide receiver Adly Enoicy (upper body) and nose tackle Wayne Williams (lower body).

Right guard Nick Robinson is listed as doubtful with lower-body injury and left guard Rob Trudo is questionable with a lower-body injury.

Broyld and Estime returned from their lower-body injuries last week and played during the Orange’s 16-6 loss at Clemson on Saturday. Broyld bounced back from a four-game absence and was SU’s leading receiver with four catches for 49 yards. Estime, seeing the field after missing three games, didn’t have any catches in the loss to the Tigers.

Shafer added that sophomore quarterback Austin Wilson, who had a turn at the starting job in between the injury to Terrel Hunt and AJ Long’s ascension to the starting role, has practiced this week. Wilson had a “pretty good headache” following a hit he took during SU’s loss to Florida State on Oct. 11 and has missed the last two games.

“Austin’s doing good, he practiced. He was a little bit rusty, he’d probably be the first one to tell you that,” Shafer said. “But he practiced and got a little bit better Wednesday and he’s got a big, strong arm, so it’s good to have him back out there.”
