  Ryan Silverfield's first home game as Memphis head coach will be a challenge against an Arkansas State team on Saturday whose offense is just as potent as the Tigers. However, the Tigers now have to prepare without their most dynamic playmaker as All-American running back Kenneth Gainwell decided Sunday to opt out of the season. Silverfield did not address Gainwell specifically Monday and added that he'd only discuss players who opted out once their paperwork was signed or if they made the decision public.. He also said he stands behind any player who decided not to play this season.

"I always talk to them about the different situations but for health and safety reasons, or whatever they may choose to be opting out. I will support them and I think that's the right thing to do," Silverfield said. Gainwell's father, Curtis Sr., told The Commercial Appeal Sunday that his son decided to opt out following the death of an uncle due to COVID-19. Gainwell Sr. added the family has lost four relatives to the virus. "He decided that he didn't want take any chances with the coronavirus going on. You don't want to to get out there and get sick and bring it to us, his brother or his teammates," Gainwell Sr. said. - Memphis Commercial Appeal

  2021 SENIOR BOWL WATCH LIST: Damonte Coxie, Memphis,...Coxie has posted back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons, becoming just the second Tiger (Anthony Miller) to do so in program history. The Reserve, Louisiana native finished 2019 with a career-high 1,276 receiving yards and helped lead Memphis to over 4,000 receiving yards for the second time ever. Coxie eclipsed the 100-yard receiving mark in six contests last year, with five of those performances coming during the final seven games of the season. In Memphis' American Athletic Conference Championship win over Cincinnati, Coxie pulled in a season-high 165 yards on nine catches. - Memphis Football

  The Tigers just missed being ranked in the poll, which was released Monday, for the first time in school history. They were ranked 26th overall and received 86 votes, 47 behind No. 25 Tennessee. Cincinnati was ranked No. 20, and Central Florida was ranked No. 21, the only non-Power Five conference teams ranked. Clemson was No. 1 followed by Ohio State, Alabama, Georgia and Oklahoma. Memphis was ranked No. 17 in the final AP Top 25 last season, its highest end-of-year ranking in school history. The Tigers also weren't ranked in the preseason Amway Coaches Top 25 poll this month. But that could change after their season opener Sept. 5. - Memphis Commercial Appeal

  Memphis redshirt senior wide receiver Pop Williams is on a personal leave of absence, coach Ryan Silverfield said Tuesday. Silverfield did not elaborate, citing Williams' privacy, but said the two have had communication for some time regarding his plans. He didn't say whether Williams planned to opt out for the remainder of the season but that Williams could return at some point. "People are dealing with different things throughout their lives right now. It's a personal matter and if he wants to come out publicly and say something, I support him," Silverfield said.

Williams, who is still listed on the roster, played three games last season before suffering a season-ending knee injury. He's played 41 games over four seasons and had a breakout year in 2018. He started 11 games and was an All-AAC first-team selection at punt returner after leading the conference in punt return yardage. He was also third on the team in receptions (33) and receiving yards (304) that season. Williams, who is from Louisiana, is expected to contend for a starting role at wide receiver as well as factor in the return game. - Memphis Commercial Appeal

  The American Athletic Conference Board of Directors has announced the conference's plan and timeline for the start of athletics competition for the Fall 2020 season. Approval was unanimous after consultation with the conference's COVID-19 Medical Advisory Group, athletic directors and senior woman administrators. In football, the plan calls for conference competition to begin Sept. 19 and for each of The American's teams to play eight conference games on their originally scheduled dates. Nonconference games may be played at the discretion of the individual schools, with the understanding that the opponents will strictly adhere to protocols and standards for testing, pregame, in-game and postgame operations set by The American's Medical Advisory Group. Depending on the need to potentially reschedule regular-season games, The American Football Championship will be played on either Dec. 5, 12 or 19 at the stadium of the regular-season champion. - American Athletic Conference Football
