DJ Uiagalelei injury update: FSU quarterback could miss rest of season, report says
Florida State played its game against Clemson without starting quarterback DJ Uiagalelei. And reports say FSU might be playing the rest of the season without him, too.
According to CBS Sports and 247 Sports reporter Matt Zenitz, Uiagalelei is expected to miss at least several weeks after getting surgery for a broken finger on his throwing hand. The report says Uiagalelei could be out the rest of the season, effectively ending his college football career.
Uiagalelei was seen before the Seminoles' game against No. 14 Clemson, his team from from 2020-2022, with a cast on his hand. Backup quarterback Brock Glenn started against the Tigers.
Uiagalelei started FSU's first five games of the season after transferring from Oregon State. He has completed less than 54% of his passes for 1,065 yards and four touchdowns against an ACC-leading six interceptions. He went 12 of 30 for 222 yards, two TDs and three INTs before his injury in last week's 42-16 loss at SMU.
Glenn is expected to be the starting QB in Uiagalelei's stead. The other quarterbacks on the roster are freshman Luke Kromenhoek, freshman Trever Jackson, redshirt sophomore Dylan McNamara and redshirt freshman Michael Grant.
