- Austin Carr moves into Cameron Dickerson's starting spot. Dickerson is still "week-to-week" due to an injury sustained in training camp, according to head coach Pat Fitzgerald.
- Flynn Nagel replaces Stephen Buckley as the backup to Christian Jones. Nagel saw the field a fair amount on Saturday. Buckley did not record any stats, but was in uniform.
- Mike McHugh takes Carr's spot as the backup at the other outside receiver spot.
- Jared McGee suffered an injury Saturday. Fitzgerald did not make any announcement about McGee's injury (though he was not asked), but presumably McGee will miss the EIU game. Terrance Brown takes his place as the backup safety.
