The Gophers’ secondary continues to be the position group most-affected by injuries this season.

The U posted key cornerback Mike Gerald and safety Aidan Gousby as out on the unavailability report posted two hours before the homecoming game against Purdue at Huntington Bank Stadium.

Safety Garrison Monroe, who missed the last two games, was not listed on the report, setting up his return to play against the Boilermakers.

The U will also be without cornerback Naiim Parish, defensive lineman Theo Randle and Mo Omonode, offensive lineman DJ Shipp, receiver Cristian Driver and running back Cristian Driver.
