Syracuse quarterback Terrel Hunt will miss the next 4-6 weeks with a fractured fibula, coach Scott Shafer announced on Monday.
Hunt needed to be helped off the field after getting hit twice during the fourth quarter of Syracuse's 28-6 loss to Louisville. He initially waved off SU training staff, but struggled to put weight on his left leg.
Redshirt freshman Austin Wilson came in for relief of Hunt against the Cardinals. He's listed as Syracuse's backup quarterback and played in the season opener after Hunt was ejected for throwing a punch. However, Shafer hasn't announced his starter for this week's home game against top-ranked Florida State.
"We are committed and unified to take the actions necessary to maximize the talent and drive of this football team," Shafer said.
This season, Hunt has completed 83-of-145 passes this season for 983 yards, one touchdown and four interceptions. He's added another 307 yards and six touchdowns on the ground.
