Memphis football won't be at full strength for the final game of its regular season.
Starting right tackle Travis Burke is listed as out, according to the conference's availability report. Burke had started all of the Tigers' 11 games this season. He was injured during Memphis' loss at ECU on Nov. 15.

Cornerback Chauncey Logan is also listed as out for Memphis. He was a starter for the Tigers earlier in the season, but he has played only sparingly down the stretch. He appeared in only four games this season and is eligible for a redshirt.
Memphis quarterback Brendon Lewis is not on the availability report and is expected to start for the Tigers. He has been battling an ankle injury the back half of the season and has been listed as questionable on three different occasions. But Lewis has not missed a start.
The Tigers (8-3, 4-3 American Conference) will host Navy (8-2, 6-1) on Nov. 27 (6:30 p.m. CT, ESPN) at Simmons Bank Liberty Stadium. Navy is still alive in the conference title race but needs to win to preserve its shot. The Tigers have been eliminated from title contention, but they're trying to get to double-digit wins for the third straight season.
