Kansas Football depth chart has unexpected mid-week changes

The initial depth chart only had a single change to it from last week, but some midweek developments means that Saturday's lineup will look a bit different

The Kansas Jayhawks are preparing to take on the Oklahoma Sooners on Saturday, and as we expected, the depth chart hasn't changed much. Even in places where it probably should have.

Here is the 2-deep as released by Kansas Athletics. It is still subject to change based on practices and during the week gameplanning. Players in italics are not expected to play due to mid-week updates

Takeaways

There are a few changes that aren't reflected in the depth chart above.

• Lance Leipold has already announced that Jalon Daniels will not be playing this week. Jason Bean will be starting in his place, and Ethan Vasko will serve as the backup.
• Steven McBride is no longer with the team. He no longer appears on the official Kansas roster. Leipold indicated that it was not a disciplinary decision.

Additionally, O.J. Burroughs has replaced Luke Grimm as the primary punt returner. He has been serving in that role for the last couple weeks and performed fairly well.

Overall though, there are no surprises in the depth chart for this week.
