Photo by Austin PerrymanAuburn head coach Hugh Freeze seems confident the Tigers could return a dinged up defensive lineman for Saturday’s game vs. Cal, though the status of a staple in Auburn’s secondary is in question.
However, come Week 2′s game against Cal, Raikes is expected to make his Auburn debut after starting his career at Texas A&M and then briefly transferring to USC.Meanwhile, Auburn junior cornerback Champ Anthony saw limited action in the season-opener, though Freeze made it sound as though it’s more of a precaution than anything.
Freeze also briefly mentioned veteran defensive back Keionte Scott, who dealt with a nagging hamstring issue through much of fall camp and appeared in just 13 snaps on defense, while also lining up at punt returner four times against Alabama A&M.
