Auburn quarterback reportedly unavailable for Missouri game this week
Auburn will be without a quarterback this week as the Tigers look to get back on track after the Penn State game, according to a report from Tom Green of AL.com.
TJ Finley won’t play because of a shoulder injury, and it’s unclear if it will keep him out of action beyond this weekend.
This report comes a day after Auburn coach Bryan Harsin said Finley would not miss any time because of the injury, and added that Finley would be “good going into this week.” Auburn (2-1) and Missouri (2-1) will meet at 11 a.m. local time Saturday in Jordan-Hare Stadium on ESPN.
Finley this season is 33-for-53 passing for 431 yards with a touchdown and 4 interceptions.
This obviously means more time for Robby Ashford, the only other QB to get meaningful snaps for Auburn. Harsin was asked about Zach Calzada, the Texas A&M transfer, and his health, and Harsin said he was not aware of an injury that has kept Calzada off the field as the other QBs have struggled with turnovers.
