Syracuse Football: Transfer Wide Receiver Inactive For Season Opener

Key Points

• Syracuse football transfer wide receiver CJ Donaldson will not play in the season opener against Ohio.
• Donaldson is recovering from an undisclosed injury.
• The Orange will be without their leading receiver from last season.

CJ Donaldson's Injury

Syracuse football transfer wide receiver CJ Donaldson will not play in the season opener against Ohio due to an undisclosed injury.

Donaldson, who transferred from West Virginia in the offseason, was expected to be a key contributor for the Orange this season.

He led the Mountaineers in receiving yards last season with 589 yards and four touchdowns.

Syracuse's Receiving Corps

Without Donaldson, Syracuse will be without their leading receiver from last season.

The Orange will rely on a group of young and inexperienced receivers, including Damien Alford, Courtney Jackson, and Anthony Queeley.

Syracuse will also be without senior wide receiver Taj Harris, who is out for the season with a torn ACL.

Outlook for Syracuse

The loss of Donaldson is a significant blow to Syracuse's offense.

The Orange will need to find a way to replace his production if they want to be successful this season.

Syracuse opens the season against Ohio on Saturday, September 3rd at the Carrier Dome.
