On Wednesday, the chances of safety Deon Bush and linebacker Denzel Perryman playing in Saturday's game against Virginia got a bit more clear, and it wasn't great news:
#UM #Canes S Deon Bush (shoulder)is out for UVA, Golden just told us.

Not having Bush back there is a fairly large hit. I had said on Twitter that Vaughn Telemaque would start, but he is apparently a bit banged up as well. Right now I would lean towards Kacy Rogers to start in his place.
The news on Perryman was less harsh, but still not promising:
#Canes LB Perryman leaning more toward "doubtful" status than probable, Golden just said.

I'm out on a limb, but I expect Perryman to play. however, if game time rolls around, and he is still fighting the injury, it may be better to let him sit. We will certainly need him down the road.
