PURDUE BOILERMAKERS NEWS

Aidan O'Connell - Taking first-team reps in warmups O'Connell is logging first-team reps under center ahead of Saturday's game against Minnesota, Mike Carmin of Lafayette Journal & Courier reports.

Impact O'Connell was already reported as the expected starter for the Boilers, so this news furthers that notion. However, Tom Dienhart of GoldandBlack.com surmises that Purdue could end up playing multiple quarterbacks to protect O'Connell from reinjury. Either way, O'Connell should top the depth chart at quarterback against the Gophers.

Austin Burton - Set for backup role Aidan O'Connell is expected to start at quarterback Saturday against Minnesota, moving Burton to a backup role, ESPN reports.

Impact Burton got the start under center last week for the Boilermakers and managed an efficient 72.4 completion percentage though he averaged just 5.7 yards per attempt. He could enter the game if O'Connell suffers a setback.

Aidan O'Connell - Expected to start at QB O'Connell, who is listed as a game-time decision with an upper body injury, is expected to start Saturday against Minnesota, ESPN reports.

Impact O'Connell threw for 1,000 yards, eight touchdowns, and only one interception in three games before the injury, so his return to the offense will be a big boost. However, he faces the No. 2 scoring defense in the Gophers this week.

Broc Thompson - Out Saturday Thompson (knee) will not suit up this Saturday against Minnesota, Tom Dienhart of GoldandBlack.com reports.

Impact After suffering a knee injury in week 1 against Penn State, Thompson has yet to step on the gridiron as he continues to deal with this lingering knee injury. During the 2021 season, Thompson put up his best numbers racking up 457 receiving yards and four touchdowns. There's optimism that the senior will return next week where he'll serve as a viable wideout for Purdue.

Aidan O'Connell - Game-time decision O'Connell will be a game-time decision against Minnesota on Saturday, Tom Dienhart of GoldandBlack.com reports.

Impact After three straight productive weeks where he threw for 1,000 yards, eight touchdowns, and only one interception, O'Connell has yet to step on the field as he's been dealing with an undisclosed injury. However, he's been progressing nicely, and there's a chance he'll make his return this Saturday against the Gophers. If he suits up, expect O'Connell's impact to be immediate as the maestro of the Boilermakers' offense.
