On the line (no stat ranks linemen): Ezomo Oratokhai out, Jacob Miller out.

A production lineup, not a depth chart: each spot holds the player with the most production at that position this season (passing yards, rushing yards, receiving yards, tackles). Gold is the next man up when the report lists the starter out or doubtful; the red figure is the share of that production that leaves with him.

WHAT THE BIG TEN LABELS MEAN

All Four Conferences →All →

Doubtful has meant out: one of 30 Big Ten regulars listed doubtful on a Friday this season played. Questionable: 46% played, against 69% of those listed available.

Doubtful has meant out: of 30 regulars listed Doubtful on a Friday report in the Big Ten this season, 1 made the box score. Questionable has been close to a coin flip: 46% made the box score, against 69% of regulars listed Available.

Questionable46%42 of 91

Doubtful3%1 of 30

Out0%0 of 155

How this is measured: every Big Ten conference game this season through Oct 31 (46 games). A regular is a player with a box-score line in two or more earlier games. Each bar is the share of regulars with that label on the Friday report who then appeared in the box score. A box score only lists players who ran, caught, threw, kicked or made a tackle, so even Available regulars reach 69%; the line on each bar marks that level. Offensive linemen are left out: a box score never lists them.
