Maryland's Ralph Friedgen said he would probably be fairly careful with Darrius Heyward-Bey's right foot injury. DHB was in a walking boot this morning and was expected to undergo an MRI exam later on in the day.
"I always hold my breath with those MRIs," Friedgen said. "I think [team physician] Dr. [Craig] Bennett might have stock in MRI. We MRI everybody. It's amazing. They're expensive. They probably give us a discount. Cheaper by the dozen."
On the bright side, Hey-Bey's injury opened up some reps for redshirt freshman Adrian Cannon and true freshman Quinton McCree today.
One other injury of note is Chase Bullock's ankle problem. Ralph didn't seem too certain about that, saying it could be a week or it could be 10 days.
Either way, it looks like Dave Philistin will start at middle linebacker in the opener against Villanova.
Overall, Friedgen seems to think the Terps have escaped any serious injuries beyond Alex Wucjiak's torn ACL last week.
"We're nicked up and have a lot of kids out right now," Friedgen said. "I don't anticipate anything serious. We just have to get everybody back. It's two-a-days. It's kind of the same old story every year."
