The losses are coming on offense this week.
Though not as critical as last week's departures of starting defensive tackles Chris Baker and Phil Taylor, Penn State still is practicing without two offensive linemen.
Redshirt freshman Josh Marks and junior college transfer Nerraw McCormack both apparently have had problems meeting the physical conditioning requirements for preseason practice.
Marks has even left the team, at least temporarily, and may transfer, according to FightOnState.com. McCormack is still on the team but has not been allowed to practice yet, FightOnState reported.
The 6-foot-4, 315-pound Marks was scheduled to challenge for a key backup spot this fall. McCormack was originally listed as a second-stringer behind starting left tackle Gerald Cadogan, but coaches have been considering a redshirt to save him for 2009.
