Running back Andre Dixon turned his ankle at practice Tuesday and is day-to-day, according to head coach Randy Edsall.
Dixon will be evaluated tomorrow to see if he can go in Thursday's season opener against Hofstra.
"We've got to take a look at him and see what happened to him," Edsall said.
If he is unable to go, redshirt freshman will serve as the primary backup to starting tailback Donald Brown.
Dixon was voted the team's Co-Offensive MVP last season after rushing for 828 yards and three touchdowns while sharing time with Brown.
A redshirt junior, Dixon was prepared to split carries again this season.
