Chrestman will miss
at least four to six weeks after tearing the medial collateral
ligament in his right knee in action against the No. 15 Panthers. He
will have a magnetic resonance imaging test on Wednesday to
determine if there is any further damage to his knee.
Chrestman ranks
second on the team in tackles for defensive lineman with 27 stops.
He has four tackles for loss, two sacks and five quarterback hurries
in six games.
Kittrell, who sat out
practice Tuesday, had an MRI on Monday to diagnose the extent of an
injury to his right knee.
Kittrell played in all six games and
started the first three for the ’Birds at cornerback. He has eight
tackles on the season with two tackles for loss and a pair of pass
breakups. Kittrell recovered a fumble Saturday against UNI prior to
the injury.
