During Wednesday afternoon's Gophers football practice, redshirt freshman running back Lamonte Edwards stood on the sideline in shorts and a jersey after tweaking his hamstring.
Edwards stretched in the team's complex while the rest of the team practiced on the field.
"He's got to learn how to stay healthy," said coach Jerry Kill, who didn't offer additional details on Edwards' status.
Starting linebacker Keanon Cooper missed his third consecutive day of practice. He continues to sport a cast and a sling on his right arm.
Offensive lineman Ryan Wynn returned after missing time because of an ankle injury, but Kill said the staff planned to bring him back gradually.
Kill said the Gophers face some question marks with a little more than a week before their Sept. 3 season opener at Southern California. But he added he's content the team has mostly avoided the injury bug.
The first-year coach will discuss the specifics of his team's current injuries Thursday.
"Again, you look at the injury report, we've got a few injured. But we've been fairly fortunate," Kill said. "We've got some guys ... I don't know if we'll have a guy miss USC or not. We've got a couple of them that you're concerned about, but everybody does. You just watch the injury report and you kind of have to judge on what you're doing and how you're doing it."
