Indiana football is expected to get back one of its top pass catchers ahead of the Hoosiers' Big Ten opener this Saturday at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena.
Per reports, wide receiver Donaven McCulley is expected to be available for Indiana against UCLA.
McCulley missed all of Indiana's week two win over Western Illinois have sustaining an upper-body injury in the Hoosiers' week one win over Florida International.
Early in the second quarter of Indiana's week one affair, McCulley made a catch -- his lone catch of the game -- near the sideline. As he dove forward towards the line-to-gain, McCulley took a hard hit to the head/neck area.
Following that contest, Indiana head coach Curt Cignetti stated that McCulley was "not medically cleared" to return to the game.
McCulley was a key cog in the Hoosiers' passing attack a season ago and is expected to fill a similar role this season.
After totaling nearly 50 receptions and over 600 yards receiving with six touchdowns during the 2023 season, McCulley is expected to be a big part of Indiana's talented 2024 receiving corp.
Indiana opens up Big Ten play at the Rose Bowl against UCLA on 7:30pm ET on NBC.
