The Gophers listed senior offensive tackle Jonah Pirsig as out on Tuesday's depth chart/injury report for this week's game against Purdue.

Coach Tracy Claeys did say that Pirsig has been cleared to practice today, which is a big step. If Pirsig has a good week of practice, he'll be able to play.

Pirsig has been out since he sprained an ankle Oct. 8 against Iowa.

Also notable on this week's depth chart, the Gophers still list KiAnte Hardin as a starting cornerback. He and four other Gophers currently have restraining orders that keep them from TCF Bank Stadium, but they are appealing at a hearing this week.
