STrib: Gophers tackle Jonah Pirsig returns to practice, might play against Purdue

per Joe:

Gophers tackle Jonah Pirsig returned to practice Tuesday after missing the past three games because of a sprained left ankle.

The team listed Pirsig as “out” on the team’s weekly injury report, but coach Tracy Claeys said it’s possible the senior will play Saturday against Purdue.

Referring to Pirsig and cornerback Zo Craighton (unspecified injury), Claeys said, “We’ll see how they do on Tuesday and Wednesday for practice, and then hopefully they’ll get cleared Thursday morning.”

Go Gophers!!

I'd say if you are going to use the big guy against Purdue, use him sparingly...unless needed.

Gonna want him at 100% in Lincoln the following week.
