Rourke suffered a thumb injury during Saturday's win.
The Indiana Hoosiers will be without quarterback Kurtis Rourke for the foreseeable future as he is out indefinitely with a thumb injury,on Sunday. There's no timeline for Rourke's return, but the school expects him to play again in the 2024 season.
Rourke suffered the thumb injury during Indiana's 56–7 win over Nebraska on Saturday. The redshirt senior continued playing in the second quarter following the injury, as he threw for 189 yards, one touchdown and one interception after hurting his thumb. Indiana coach Curt Cignetti took Rourke out for the second half as a "precautionary move."
Backup quarterback Tayven Jackson led four touchdown drives in the second half. He completed seven-of-eight attempts for 91 yards and two touchdown passes. Jackson will likely step into the starting role with Rourke being out.Madison Williams is a staff writer on the Breaking and Trending News team at Sports Illustrated, where she specializes in tennis but covers a wide range of sports from a national perspective.
