Shafer: No timeframe on return for Parris, Enoicy
Syracuse head coach Scott Shafer gave a brief update Wednesday on the progress of tight end Josh Parris and wide receiver Adly Enoicy, who are both recovering from surgery on lower-body injuries.
“They’re both doing well, but we have not set a timeline on either of those guys yet,” Shafer said during the Atlantic Coast Conference coaches’ teleconference. “All I can tell you is they’re both doing well and progressing and won’t be playing against Central Michigan.”
Kendall Moore, an offensive lineman-turned-tight end, caught the game-winning touchdown pass in Syracuse’s season opener against Villanova. It appears he’ll still be the Orange’s go-to tight end for the foreseeable future.
In the absences of Parris and Enoicy, Moore has risen to the top of the depth chart at tight end, followed by freshman Jamal Custis and sophomore Tyler Provo.
Moore’s 1-yard touchdown reception — on a fake field goal, thrown by punter Riley Dixon — was the only pass completed to a tight end during the Orange’s season opener.
