The BYU football program will be without its top cornerback against Arizona State this week. On Monday, BYU star cornerback Evan Johnson was removed from the depth chart, a signal that he will miss Saturday's game against ASU.
Johnson suffered an injury on UCF's final offensive play in double overtime. Johnson's injury did not look good on the replay and he had to be carried off the field. BYU head coach Kalani Sitake provided an update on Johnson's status on Monday, and he said that Johnson's injury is not season ending.
"[It's] probably gonna be difficult for [Evan Johnson] this week," Sitake said. "I don't think he's gonna play this week, but, you know, possibly we'll see how it goes. I don't know if you guys saw the end of the game, that play. I mean, it was brutal...it ended up not being completely horrible..."It's unlikely he will play this weekend...that one might take some time."
Johnson has been playing a lot of nickel since Cannon DeVries suffered an injury against TCU.…
