Auburn's defense took another hit from the injury bug, this time affecting the defensive line, Hugh Freeze revealed Wednesday.

Photo by Austin Perryman/Auburn TigersThe news Auburn head coach Hugh Freeze shared Wednesday during his time on the SEC coaches’ teleconference call wasn’t the kind of news you want during the bye week.
Nasili-Kite recorded a solo tackle and assisted in a tackle for a loss before going down against the Bulldogs on Saturday. On the year, Nasili-Kite has recorded 10 tackles and a pair of quarterback hurries. In his absence, Freeze and the Tigers will likely ask true freshman Keldric Faulk to grow up fast and fill in as Auburn’s new starter at the defensive end spot. Fortunately, Faulk has been highly regarded as a guy that plays beyond his years.
