Bowl projections for Hokies after Week 12: Not much change after second open week Here are the bowl projections for Virginia Tech after the 12th week of the season.

15 HOURS AGO • ROANOKE.COM

Malachi Thomas - Officially out Thomas (undisclosed) is officially out for Virginia Tech's game against Duke, Kolby Crawford of 247Sports reports.

Impact Thomas was spotted not partaking in practice while wearing a boot earlier on Wednesday, so this comes as little surprise. The Hokies' backfield remains banged up, although Bhayshul Tuten should be trending in the right direction. With Thomas out, he should be backed up by Jeremiah Coney against the Blue Devils.

Tucker Holloway - With non-contact jersey Holloway (knee) was wearing a non-contact jersey in Wednesday's practice and should remain questionable for Saturday's game at Duke, Kolby Crawford of 247Sports reports.

Impact Holloway hadn't resumed practice before the end of October, and while seeing him active is a positive sign, the non-contact jersey suggests he's not ready to play yet. Thus, his chances of playing against Duke on Saturday should be really slim, if existent at all.

23 HOURS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Stephen Gosnell - Wearing non-contact jersey Gosnell (undisclosed) was wearing a non-contact jersey in Wednesday's practice and should remain questionable for Saturday's game at Duke, Kolby Crawford of 247Sports reports.

Impact The fact that Gosnell was spotted with a blue, non-contact jersey just three days before the game against the Blue Devils isn't encouraging. His absence would be significant, though. The wideout has 24 catches for 462 yards and a touchdown across 10 appearances in 2024.

Malachi Thomas - Spotted in boot Thomas (undisclosed) was spotted in a boot at Virginia Tech's practice on Wednesday, Kolby Crawford of 247Sports reports.

Impact Thomas wasn't participating in practice, and is clearly dealing with some sort of lower leg and/or foot ailment, as he was spotted with a boot. The tailback missed the Hokies' game against Clemson before the bye, and he doesn't appear slated to make his return against the Blue Devils come Saturday. The good news for Virginia Tech's backfield is that Bhayshul Tuten looks to be trending in the right direction.

Bhayshul Tuten - Spotted at practice Tuten (undisclosed) was spotted at practice Wednesday, Kolby Crawford of 247Sports reports.

Impact Tuten was termed questionable on Tuesday, but his participation in practice is obviously a good sign that the tailback will be able to go against the Blue Devils. Tuten didn't practice during the bye week and was extremely limited the week prior against Clemson, but he appears to be trending towards playing come Saturday.

1 DAY AGO • ROTOWIRE

Kyron Drones - Not practicing Drones (undisclosed) isn't practicing for Virginia Tech, Kolby Crawford of 247Sports reports.

Impact Drones was deemed questionable on Tuesday, and now his status has been throw further into question given that he was absent from the Hokies' practice on Wednesday. The quarterback still has a shot to play Saturday against Duke, but if he's unable to go, Collin Schlee should get his second start of the season.

1 DAY AGO • 247SPORTS.COM

Kyron Drones - Questionable for Saturday Head coach Brent Pry labeled Drones (undisclosed) questionable for Saturday's game versus Duke, Damien Sordelett of The Roanoke Times reports.

Impact Drones had a bye week to rest what has plagued him between Weeks 11 and 12, but it appears his status for Week 13 hasn't been solidified as of yet. The star quarterback's availability may not be solidified until the team takes the field for warmups Saturday, with Collin Schlee presumably set to start if Drones can't go.

Bhayshul Tuten - Questionable Week 13 Tuten (ankle) has been termed questionable ahead of Saturday's game against the Blue Devils, Damien Sordelett of The Roanoke Times reports.

Impact Tuten, who sat out in Week 10 against Syracuse before making a limited return in Week 11 against Clemson, remains questionable to suit up for the Hokies following their Week 12 bye. The 5-foot-11 senior back has appeared in nine games this season, posting 146 carries for 950 yards and 12 touchdowns, adding on 20 receptions for 77 yards and two receiving touchdowns through the passing game. Tuten's status for Saturday's game will continue to be monitored throughout the week.

2 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Malachi Thomas - Questionable for Duke game Thomas (foot) is questionable for Virginia Tech's game Saturday at Duke, Damien Sordelett of The Roanoke Times reports.

Impact Thomas was seen wearing a protective boot and using a cane around this time one week ago, so it makes sense he is questionable at worst going into Virginia Tech's upcoming game. Having logged 14 carries for 73 yards and one touchdown during his last game, all aforementioned stats being his career bests, Thomas will look to get healthy at Duke to continue his positive momentum established right before an injury took him out of commission.

Malachi Thomas - Spotted wearing a boot Thomas was spotted wearing a boot and using a cane, Andy Bitter of Tech Sidelines reports.

Impact The Hokies are on a bye this week, so Thomas will have more than a week to recover before the game against Duke on Nov. 23, but this is not an encouraging update on Thomas. The junior running back has 42 carries for 160 yards and a touchdown this season, and if he can't face Duke, then Jeremiah Coney could be in line to see more touches out of the backfield.

NOVEMBER 12 • ROTOWIRE

Bhayshul Tuten - Doesn't practice during bye Tuten (ankle) didn't practice during Virginia Tech's bye week session, Andy Bitter of Tech Sidelines reports.

Impact This is somewhat expected considering Tuten dealt with an ankle injury that limited him against Clemson. It's also expected because Virginia Tech is known to give its veterans a break on bye weeks. Tuten's next game isn't until Nov. 23, so he has plenty of time to heal that ankle beforehand.
