Indiana football coach Curt Cignetti said defensive lineman Andrew Depaepe and cornerbacks Josh Philostin and JoJo Johnson have suffered injuries during fall camp.
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Indiana football held its first scrimmage of fall camp on Saturday, exactly three weeks before the season opener on Aug. 31 against Florida International.
"It's significantly better than it was in the spring," Cignetti said Monday. "Which the goal coming into fall camp, the second time through it, more consistency in performance play in, play out at a high level. We're not there yet, and we still have things to install.""Josh Philostin injured his knee. He'll be out a while. Same with Depaepe, the transfer from Michigan State," Cignetti said. "JoJo Johnson will be out a couple weeks.
Johnson appeared in all 12 games for the Hoosiers in 2023, making 12 total tackles and one pass breakup at cornerback and on special teams. He began his career at Notre Dame but missed the entire 2021 season due to a knee injury. Depaepe played 11 snaps in one game in 2023 as a true freshman at Michigan State while maintaining redshirt status. His younger brother, William, is a 6-foot-6, 244-pound defensive lineman entering his true freshman season at Indiana in 2024.
