Fields out for Louisiana Tech

Kansas football coach Mark Mangino said after practice on Wednesday that senior wide receiver Dexton Fields will miss Saturday’s game against Louisiana Tech with an injured foot.

Fields, who led Kansas with 63 catches a year ago, sustained the injury late in the first quarter of the Jayhawks 40-10 win over FIU last Saturday when he leaped up for a pass and landed awkwardly on his foot or ankle when he came back down.

Mangino is hopeful that Fields will miss just the Louisiana Tech game and will be able to play in next Friday’s game at South Florida.

“That’s what we’re hoping,” Mangino said. “I can tell you that there’s no fracture, but he is in no way ready to play this Saturday, for sure.”

Freshman tackle may start Saturday

Mangino also said that redshirt freshman right tackle Jeremiah Hatch, who did not play in Saturday’s victory with an undisclosed injury, has been practicing all week and will probably start against Louisiana Tech.

“We feel good about what we see,” Mangino said of Hatch. “We’ll work him through tomorrow’s practice, and if he looks sharp and is pain free, then we’ll start him.”
