Linebacker Sean will probably miss his second-straight game with a sprained knee when the Lions play at Illinois on Saturday afternoon.
A more definite scratch is true freshman speedster Devon Smith, a kickoff returner and receiver. He suffered a concusion against Iowa and won't make the trip to Illinois, coach Joe Paterno said on his weekly radio show.
And the status of receiver Chaz Powell, a Susquehannock High grad, is uncertain. Paterno mentioned that Powell had been sick all week.
We'll have more updates later today from Champaign, Ill. after the team arrives at its Holiday Inn headquarters.
