Mitch Leidner is not on the Gophers official injury report this week, as the team still has him listed as its starting quarterback for Saturday's game at TCU.

The team released its injury report and depth chart following Thursday's practice.

Defensive end Alex Keith remains out with a knee injury. The Gophers now list Ben Lauer as the starting right tackle, with Jonah Pirsig as his backup.

With Nick Rallis out for the season with a torn ACL, the Gophers moved true freshman Everett Williams into his spot on the depth chart, as the second-team middle linebacker.
