Indiana’s Elijah Sarratt, Mikail Kamara Set to Start vs. Purdue After Bye Week

Coach Curt Cignetti reported medical clearance for both players, with IU awaiting an update on left guard Drew Evans.

Overview

Cignetti said Monday that Sarratt and Kamara will open Friday night’s Old Oaken Bucket game against Purdue.
Sarratt missed two games after a lower-body injury but has 45 receptions for 609 yards and 10 touchdowns this season.
Sarratt posted 165 receiving yards in last year’s Bucket debut, the top IU total in the rivalry game’s history.
Kamara exited the Wisconsin game with a shoulder issue and leads IU with 34 quarterback pressures, tied for sixth nationally per PFF.
Defensive end depth remains strained after Kellan Wyatt’s season-ending knee injury, while WR Charlie Becker stepped up with back-to-back 100-yard games during Sarratt’s absence.
