BLOOMINGTON — Indiana football coach Curt Cignetti will need to have some contingency plans ready at running back this weekend.

The No. 5 Hoosiers (4-0) are getting ready to travel out to Rutgers with their top four running backs all dealing with injuries.
On Thursday night, Lee Beebe Jr.'s name unexpectedly popped up on the latest availability report. Beebe, who was listed as questionable, had a career-best performance against Northwestern with 203 rushing yards and a touchdown.
With Turbo Richard suffering an ankle injury in the 29-23 win, Beebe had career-high 24 carries. The Hoosiers are optimistic about Richard's status for Saturday's game, but they have little depth at the position if either running back suffers a set back with Khobie Martin (arm) listed as out and Sean Cuono listed as questionable.
The rest of IU's availability report remain unchanged from Wednesday.
