  Draft Scout by Conference









  Louisville opens the season against Ole Miss on Sept. 6 and coach Scott Satterfield said the Cardinals will be at full strength. That includes safety Josh Minkins, who missed the entire spring session and much of the summer with an offseason injury. During ACC Media Days, Satterfield said Minkins was working his way back onto the field but wasn't sure when he would be in shape to play. "Will he be in good enough shape to play the first game? I don't know. That's a question mark," Satterfield said. "Will it be three games or conference play? I just don't know where he'll be physically. We want to be able to count on him as we head forward because he played a little bit last year."

That time is now. Minkins, a Louisville native and Ballard graduate, played in six games last year and had six tackles. The coaching staff entered this year with high hopes for the athletic safety. His progress, after injury, was faster than the staff expected. "He had some issues with his shoulder but he's progressed a lot faster than we thought he would," Satterfield said. "We actually thought he would be ready for the start of the season, we didn't know if it would be the first game, second game or the third game. We are glad he's available now." - Courier Journal
