The injuries that have plagued Auburn's offense have bled over to the other side of the ball.
Defensive end Byron Cowart underwent an emergency appendectomy Wednesday morning and will miss the rest of the season, Auburn coach Gus Malzahn confirmed on the SEC Coaches' Teleconference.
“He had an emergency appendectomy, that happened this morning,” Malzahn said. “I don’t know the status for how long he’s at, but it went well and he’s recovering well.”
The news was first reported by ESPN's Derek Tyson.
Cowart had picked up six tackles, including one for a loss, so far in his sophomore season, as well as forcing a fumble.
