It has really been a tough preseason for the Syracuse Orange. Coach Doug Marrone looked like he had the chance to quietly make a run at a Big East championship in his third year, but various injuries and off-the-field struggles have already created serious setbacks for the Orange’s roster.
Now, Marrone will have to deal with a few more.
Multiple media sources are reporting another three Syracuse players -- starting strong safety Shamarko Thomas, offensive linemen Nick Robinson and Ian Allport -- have suffered concussions and will be out of the lineup until further notice.
Additionally, Starting cornerback Keon Lyn suffered an apparent arm injury and was taken to the hospital. No further word has been given as to the diagnosis or time frame for return.
Tough, tough luck.
