Grayson McCall injury update

The 6-foot-3 QB sustained a hard hit to his helmet while sliding in the game against the Arkansas State Red Wolves. He was immediately taken out of the game and carted off. ESPN's Pete Thamel is reporting that McCall is not cleared to play in today's game but could practice next week.

Here's what the Chanticleers coach Tim Beck said about the injury:

"It doesn't matter what they label [the injury suffered by McCall], it's still the same protocol. You can't have headaches, you can't be sensitive to light. You've got to be able to work out and run and do all those things. Once that starts happening, then he'll be cleared to play. Until that happens, he won't be cleared to play." H/t ESPN

McCall was carted off the field during the Oct. 21 game against the Arkansas State Red Wolves and spent that night inside an Arkansas hospital for observation. The injury was not initially declared a concussion but was severe enough to be treated as one.

Who will be the starting quarterback with Grayson McCall being injured?

With Grayson McCall suffering a head injury, the Freshman quarterback Ethan Vasko has been getting snaps and has proven himself to be a good option going into the future.

On the season, he is 35-of-60 (58.3 completion percentage) for 326 yards with three passing touchdowns and an interception. The most important fact is that the Chanticleers are 3-0 in the games since McCall went down, showcasing their ability to be a dominant program for years to come.
