The Army football depth chart has been remarkably steady headed into December but the defensive corps is taking a hit.
Senior defensive end Kyle Lewis was injured prior to the Texas San Antonio game last weekend and is likely out for the remainder of the season with a lower body injury. A late scratch was also nose tackle Kody Harris-Miller, a sophomore.

With Miller slated to start at one end, junior Jack Latore will be backed up at the other spot by Deshontez Gray.
Army defenders took a beating against UTSA, with a handful being tended to on the field. However, there are no announced changes in the linebacker corps and secondary.
