Maryland running back Da'Rel Scott, the team's leading rusher with 135.7 yards per game, is questionable for Saturday's game against Eastern Michigan with a sprained AC joint in his left shoulder, coach Ralph Friedgen said on his Sunday teleconference.

Scott will be limited to non-contact drills this week.

Scott rushed 19 times for 87 yards and two touchdowns against Cal, despite playing less than three quarters because of a shoulder injury.

Friedgen also said he might make a change to the kicking game, as Obi Egekeze has now missed five straight field goals, including a 27-yard attempt this past weekend.

"I'm still thinking that over," Friedgen said. "Before I make any decisions like that I probably want to talk to our staff and to Obi. We've gotta get better in that area, one way or the other."

If he did name a new placekicker, Friedgen said it would likely be either Nick Wallace, a redshirt sophomore transfer from Indiana (Pa.) or walk-on Mike Barbour.
