There are no changes to the depth chart this week, which means James Franklin is still James Franklin, and information is still only going to be meted out as he deems necessary. We don't know about Miles Dieffenbach--James Franklin's version of transparency on the issue has been publicly disavowing any knowledge of his star lineman's potential return, even as he's returned to practice. But if Dieffenbach plays, Franklin says that he'd be eased back into the lineup, one series at a time. Whether we should believe him is a different question entirely.
As far as other updates go, Eugene Lewis was limited last week, due in part to nagging injuries, in part due to implications that he was dogging it in practice, and maybe that he'd been having some issues in the classroom. He should be a full-go tomorrow.
But yeah, that's it. Depth chartery follows.
