Jordan Travis injury update: Latest on FSU QB after Week 12 clash against North Alabama Lions

Jordan Travis suffered a gruesome injury during Florida State's 58-13 win against the North Alabama Lions on Saturday. Despite Florida remaining undefeated, Seminoles fans are worried about their star quarterback.

Florida State entered week 12 off a 27-20 win over Miami last weekend. They're now 11-0 and looking like the favorites to emerge as champions of the ACC. However, in the first quarter of the game, the North Alabama Lions led 13-0.

From the second quarter, though, the Florida State Seminoles found their footing despite losing Jordan Travis early. Backup QB Tate Rodemaker came on to replace Travis as the Seminoles established dominance over the Lions.

He put up 217 passing yards and two TD passes, as Florida State scored touchdowns in all the remaining quarters.

When will Jordan Travis return?

At the moment, there's no definite timeline of when Travis will return until a proper evaluation of his injury is conducted.

However, judging by the way Travis landed and seemingly broke his foot, he will likely miss the rest of the 2023 season, including the post-season games.

Before this injury, Travis was at the top of his game for the Seminoles. Heading into week 12, he had put up 2,734 passing yards and 20 TD passes. It will be interesting to see what changes the Seminoles make in the absence of their star QB.
