DeLuca has a separated shoulder but it must not be severe.

FARGO—The waiting game has started with Nick DeLuca's shoulder. Will two weeks be enough healing time for the North Dakota State middle linebacker to play against Eastern Washington? The senior captain dislocated his shoulder on the first play of the second half Saturday night, Aug. 27, against Charleston Southern. Bison head coach Chris Klieman said the medical staff was able to pop it right back in and DeLuca spent the rest of the game with his arm in a sling and an ice wrap around his shoulder."Our hope and Nick's hope is over the next two weeks that it calms down, tightens up and he can play and that's where we're at," Klieman said. DeLuca, a senior from Omaha, will not practice this week but the aim is for him to return to the practice field next week and be in the lineup when NDSU hosts the Eagles at 2:30 p.m., Saturday, Sept. 10, at Gate City Bank Field at the Fargodome. He was hurt when his shoulder took the brunt of a tackle against Charleston Southern running back Mike Holloway.
