San Diego State\u2019s Pac-12 Availability Report posted Wednesday night for this weekend\u2019s game against Fresno State includes 18 players listed as \u201cquestionable.\u201d<\/p>\n
Among them are three starters on the offensive line \u2014 left tackle Joe Borjon, left guard Kalan Ellis and right guard Mikey Watkins \u2014 along with running backs Lucky Sutton and Javion Kinnard and linebacker Sione Hala.<\/p>\n
Another notable name: backup quarterback Stone Saunders.<\/p>\n
Saunders was listed as out the past two weeks as he recovers from a broken collarbone suffered in the season opener against Portland State. There has been increasing interest in the status of Saunders, a redshirt freshman who transferred from Kentucky over the winter, given the struggles this season of SDSU starting quarterback Jayden Denegal.<\/p>\n
A recovery time of six to eight weeks is typical for a broken collarbone. It has been five weeks since Saunders had surgery. He returned to practice last week, but has not yet been cleared to play in a game. Saunders is expected to have scans this week to determine whether he is recovered enough to be cleared to play.<\/p>\n
SDSU coach Sean Lewis said after Wednesday morning\u2019s practice that scans had not yet been completed.<\/p>\n
So when?<\/p>\n
\u201cI know, but there\u2019s not really a competitive advantage for me to say when that\u2019s going to happen,\u201d Lewis said, adding, \u201cThere\u2019s a lot of ifs and whats and buts in that. We\u2019ll see.\u201d<\/p>\n
Sutton has been back at practice this week running with the first team after missing the past two weeks (and three games overall) with a high ankle sprain.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s been able to do a little bit more throughout the course of the week,\u201d said Lewis, who expects Sutton to be a game-time decision against the Bulldogs.<\/p>\n
Linebacker Tano Letuli has left each of the past two games with injuries and was listed as doubtful, along with starting wide receivers Donovan Brown and Nate Acevedo and running back Josiah Lucas.<\/p>\n
