Despite the loss, Morgan has been a reliable quarterback this season. He has 1,164 yards passing with 11 total touchdowns, making plays with both his arms and his legs.
Minnesota will be hoping to have him back in the lineup for Week 8 as No. 16 Penn State awaits. We’ll see if any more updates about Morgan’s status come out before game time on Oct. 22.
That game kicks off at 7:30 p.m. ET on ABC.
