Virginia's top quarterback Chandler Morris suffered a concerning injury in the second quarter against Wake Forest on Saturday. After a 6-yard scramble, Morris was hit by two defenders and stayed down for several minutes before slowly getting up and heading to the locker room. Backup quarterback Daniel Kaelin replaced him, and coach Tony Elliott confirmed that Morris would not return to the game. Morris has been instrumental in the Cavaliers' impressive 8-1 overall record and 5-0 mark in ACC play, the team's strongest start in 35 years. His absence has sparked concerns among fans about his availability for the upcoming game against Duke. The injury appears unrelated to Morris's lingering left shoulder issue, which has bothered him throughout the season. The Cavaliers will be hoping for a speedy recovery to ensure Morris's participation in their next game. The Virginia Cavaliers' depth chart includes several experienced players, including quarterbacks Daniel Kaelin and Chandler Morris, as well as running backs J'Mari Taylor and Harrison Waylee.
