Pretty sure Deondre is in the injury tent.

Deondre Francois had taken his shoulder pads off in the injury tent. Looks like they've put them back on. Could be a good sign.

Francois is grimacing some when he throws on the sideline, but he's thrown some hard passes.

Senior Sean Maguire has taken over at quarterback. We'll continue to update his status.

Francois has thrown for over 1,300 yards for seven touchdowns and just two interceptions in five games.
