Starting linebackers, right tackle remain 'day-to-day'

AUBURN -- There could be several alterations to Auburn's lineup on Saturday as multiple injured starters are still on the mend.

Starting linebackers Cassanova McKinzy (concussion), Kris Frost (left knee) and right tackle Patrick Miller (left foot) are all "day-to-day" with injuries they sustained in Auburn's win over Louisiana Tech.

"We're hoping to get these guys back for the game," Auburn coach Gus Malzahn said. "As we practice (Tuesday) and (Wednesday), we'll know more each day."

Anthony Swain and Tre' Williams each played significant time at linebacker, with four and seven tackles, respectively.

Miller went down early and the offensive line shuffled with Avery Young returning to tight tackle and Devonte Danzey taking over at left guard.

Malzahn said that lineup might be used if Miller can't play.

"We do have a couple of different options that we're looking at," Malzahn said. "Of course, we're hoping Pat will be back."

Defensive end LaDarius Owens also got "a little banged up" last weekend.

"He finished and he should be fine," Malzahn said. "There's a lot of guys that got banged up Saturday. It was a physical deal."
