CINCINNATI — The Bearcats hope to get star defensive tackle Dontay Corleone back on the field for Saturday's road matchup against Kansas State after he left the Iowa State loss due to injury.

Head coach Scott Satterfield sounded confident he'll be able to practice and give it a go this week with two games left.

"Certainly had several guys they got dinged up in the game but I think most all the guys are trending in the right way and hopefully will all be available this weekend," Satterfield said about the defensive tackle and injuries in general.

Corleone has been a massive impact piece in the middle (79.2 overall PFF grade this season). ISU ran for nearly 100 yards in the fourth quarter without him on the field this past weekend.

A short absence is just what the doctor ordered for Cincinnati.
