Kansas University senior receiver Dexton Fields will miss Saturday's game against visiting Louisiana Tech due to injury, coach Mark Mangino said Wednesday evening.

"He won't play this week," said Mangino, who added that he hopes to have Fields back for the Jayhawks' Sept. 12 game against South Florida. "I can tell you that there's no fracture, but he's in no way ready to play this Saturday, for sure."

In his place, true freshman Daymond Patterson will likely see increased playing time. In his first collegiate game last week, Patterson caught three passes for 22 yards, in addition to returning a punt for a touchdown.

Meanwhile, starting right tackle Jeremiah Hatch, who sat out last week's game with an apparent injury, has spent the week practicing with the team, and could play Saturday.
