LOS ANGELES — A new season and a new staff was supposed to equal a fresh start for Korey Foreman. But through two crucial weeks of USC's preseason camp, the former No. 1 overall recruit has barely had the chance to get started.
An undisclosed injury has kept Foreman sidelined since last week. Before that, he missed time for what USC coach Lincoln Riley called "a prior commitment." Altogether, he's sat out most of the Trojans' camp so far — after missing the start of spring practice with an injury too — leaving minimal opportunities for him to make any sort of impression on USC's staff ahead of the season.
"Is that a concern, Korey missing that? Sure," Riley said on Tuesday. "But I want to make the point, it's not because it's Korey, it's because it's a player on the USC football team."
