Nehemiah Prtichett not participating during open portion of Auburn practice

Auburn cornerback Nehemiah Pritchett did not practice during a period of Auburn practice Tuesday open to the media.

Pritchett was not wearing pads and stood off in the corner of the endzone in Auburn’s indoor practice facility while drills took place around him. His left ankle was wrapped.

On Monday, Freeze listed Pritchett as questionable for Auburn’s game at 2:30 p.m. Saturday against UMass.

“It wouldn’t shock me if all those went truthfully,” Freeze said while listing off the week’s injury report. “But it really wouldn’t shock me if a few didn’t make it either.”

Freeze also noted QB Robby Ashford, CB J.D. Rhym, Jack Linebacker Jalen McLeod and WR Nick Mardner as questionable Monday, but all participated in practice.

In fact, no Auburn players were wearing any sort of non-contact injury jersey, including Pritchett. During fall camp, players wore yellow pennies to signify their injury status.

That includes wide receiver Koy Moore who had not been seen practicing throughout fall camp. Quarterback Robby Ashford threw during drills while dealing with a strained oblique, according to Freeze. Linebacker Austin Keys, who had been in the yellow jersey during fall camp, took part in drills.

And while everyone other than Pritchett appeared to participate in practice, they had various injury wrappings while participating. Linebacker Wesley Steiner’s leg was heavily wrapped and wide receiver Camden Brown wore tape down his left leg.

During the period open to practice, it wasn’t clear if anyone previously known to be dealing with an injury was limited relative to a fully healthy player.
