The Purdue QB is dealing with an unspecified injury at the moment. He currently has the fifth-most passing yards in the country behind Davis Brin (Tulsa), Michael Penix Jr. (Washington), Tanner Mordecai (SMU), and Grayson McCall (Coastal Carolina).
Luckily this will be a tune-up game for the Boilermakers who are coming off of a tough 32-29 loss to Syracuse. However, Purdue will need its star QB in the long run as FAU will be its last non-conference game of the season.
Purdue and FAU kick off Saturday at 7:30 p.m. ET on BTN.
