Count me in as somebody who's officially worried that Antoine Wilder will not be available for the season opener.
No one is making a big deal about this right now, but I have not personally seen him in pads since the Celebration Bowl. Granted, I am not at every practice or scrimmage, but every time I swing by campus he is wearing t-shirts and shorts.
Dont know his health status is or what he is dealing with. But am I missing something ... or is now a time to panic?

When you have Mccain out and wilder and factor in our Defensive line has gotten smaller we not looking good for the outer conf. games. We can win without them in the MEAC but not ELON and Duke!!!!

well, we still have a little more than 2 weeks before playing elon. so there's still some hope. hopefully, if he has an injury, they are just taking precautions before they pad him up and let him start hitting...

The jinx has just bitten Antoine Wilder, aka "Headless Horseman". SMH! Will he ever learn?

Stuckey is a baller and adequate backup for Wilder and we've got some experienced DB's (both new to the team and been on the team) to fill in for Mac, if needed.
We'll see what happens.

No Mac, no Headless Horseman and no Kittles is a major problem.
I still think the Elon game is winnable, but if all those guys are out we are gonna get boat-raced by Duke.

I'm not worried at all . The coaches and players know what is at stake and I'm sure that they will step up to the plate and perform . Now we will know what we really have from starters to back ups . That is the game of football . Now A&T will see what Players are Hungry for the field . I feel that some unknown player or players will make a name for themselves in this game .

Headless horseman was declared early last season, so I think the curse by-passed Wilder.

All that rah rah stuff sounds good, but there is a reason the starters were starters and the backups were backups.

yeah, if wilder doesn't play, heck yeah that concerns me! our defense is already hurting from lack of returning starters and now you take another one away? perhaps our best tackler at that? yeah, that definitely concerns me...

I have some concerns about this season now Grandmother always said things happen in Threes Good or Bad..The top players have to stay Healthy.I think is major year for us to see if we are truly a top 20 Program and King of the MEAC. We can go back to the Seniors Classes from Cohen to last year Class a lot of true Football Talent and leaders on and off the Field are gone. I FOLLOW a few players on Instagram I see a very loose Ship this maybe the year it really shows...
