Really? Look at the article you cited. What did Schiano say that updates the fans or the press (or the opponent) about any injured player. Schiano said exactly zero about which players are injured, which ones might play and which ones won't. All he says is that the injured players will get better, some might play before the season ends and that some players are limited somewhat by injuries. The players who normally play will be replaced by less experienced guys if they can't go. He mentioned no names. The reporter then adds the names of players who have been banged up, but there is nothing from Schiano giving any insight into who might play, who might not and who might be limited.
The style is a little different, but to me it seems pretty much the same as PJ being asked if Tyler Cooper will be cleared to play and saying "you'll know two hours before game time."
