Matty Vautour reports that five previously injured UMass players are "Probable" for the Rhode Island game.
Two of them Syracuse transfer LB Mike Mele and Senior OT Rob Getek have not played so far this season.
D.J. Adeoba played a strong game at Kansas State and John Ihne is the starting center. Jeromy Horne was the third leading receiver in the CAA last year. All five are potential starters and would make a strong addition to the team.
