UConn Huskies head coach Randy Edsall held his weekly day after game press conference and updated the local media about the health status of quarterback Zach Frazer and tight end Ryan Griffin.
While the news isn’t bad, it’s not really that great either as both Frazer and Griffin will be out for at least two weeks. This means both will miss the Baylor game next Saturday and the home game against Rhode Island the following Saturday.
From Chip Malafronte of the New Haven Register:
Zach Frazer is out this week, and probably next week with a right knee injury, Edsall said. Cody Endres starts and Mike Box is the backup. No surgery is necessary, and it’s not season-ending. But that’s all Edsall would divulge. “He got hurt on the one play he scrambled, he came back and threw one high and that was the worst he threw all day,” Edsall said. “He threw some good balls and was doing good things. It’s disappointing to see that happen to him.”
Ryan Griffin will also miss this week and probably next week with a back injury. No specifics from Edsall, other than no surgery is needed and he’s expected back before the year is through. Corey Manning moves up to backup with John Delahunt the starter.
We all saw Endres struggle with the offense in Saturday’s loss to the North Carolina Tar Heels. You have to wonder if Edsall and Joe Moorhead will simplify the offense for Endres.
Let’s hope Endres can come around quickly. Otherwise it’s going to be a long Saturday afternoon/evening in Waco, TX.
