Big (bad) news out of the 'Ville.

Brian Bennett, now of ESPN, reports that Louisville's lone experienced receiver, Scott Long, suffered a broken foot in camp this morning. It is not known how long Long will be out.

If he misses the opener, Louisville will have just one receiver, Chris Vaughn, who caught a pass last year.

Long caught 27 passes for 358 yards.

Here is Steve Kragthorpe's statement:

"After looking at the X-Ray and consulting with our team doctors, it was revealed that Scott Long suffered a broken bone in his foot and will have surgery in the next couple days to aide his recovery.

I'm uncertain at this time how long he will be out of action. I've had players with similar injuries respond quickly, and it's my hope that Scott can respond quickly in this instance. We wish him a speedy recovery, but we are lucky to have capable depth behind him to pick up the production in his absence."
