The Gophers released their depth chart and injury report Tuesday, with Cody Poock as their starting middle linebacker, and tight ends Lincoln Plsek and Duke Anyanwu both out for Thursday's game against TCU.

Josh Campion is listed as the starting left tackle, with Ben Lauer behind him, coming back from left knee surgery. Connor Mayes will be the starting right guard, barring a change.

Chris Streveler is listed as the backup quarterback behind Mitch Leidner.

Plsek has a back injury, and Anyanwu had knee surgery during camp, like Lauer.

The biggest position battle in camp was at middle linebacker, where Poock has edged out Everett Williams, at least according to this depth chart.
