Faulk Out for Season, Auburn’s Defense Takes a Hit | Auburn Tigers Football News

Auburn’s defense takes a major hit as redshirt freshman edge rusher J.J. Faulk goes down for the season with a collarbone injury — a crushing blow for a player showing explosive promise and coming from a proud Auburn football family. With surgery behind him, coach Alex Golesh hopes Faulk returns by late November or December, but that means missing the entire regular season. His breakout performance in fall camp — including a sack — makes his absence even more painful, especially as he was developing alongside stars like Jared Smith. The setback compounds Auburn’s roster woes, with offensive lineman Tai Buster and cornerback Devin Williams also sidelined, leaving three key players out for extended stretches as the season looms.
