6 key Stanford players out for Friday’s opener against San Diego State
Although generally pleased with Stanford’s training camp, David Shaw was less sanguine Monday about the fact that six key performers will miss Friday night’s opening game against San Diego State.
The No. 13 Cardinal will be without starters Jesse Burkett (center) and Alijah Holder (cornerback) as well as cornerback Malik Antoine, safety and special-teams standout Brandon Simmons and linebackers Curtis Robinson and Jordan Perez, all because of injuries.
Asked if that was an inordinate number of injuries, Shaw said most teams “are battling something like that.”
Stanford issued its first depth chart of the season for the 6 p.m.
