VIRGINIA TECH HOKIES NEWS

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.

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.

Not dressed for Tuesday's practice Gosnell (undisclosed) was not dressed for Tuesday's practice and his status for the game against Duke on Nov. 23 could be in jeopardy, Kolby Crawford of 247Sports reports.

Impact The matchup against the Blue Devils is still 11 days away, so it's too early to tell whether Gosnell will actually have trouble featuring in the game or not. However, the fact that he wasn't dressed for practice during the open week is not an encouraging sign. The wideout has 24 catches for 462 yards and a touchdown across 10 appearances in 2024.

Not dressed in practice Drones (undisclosed) wasn't dressed for Virginia Tech's practice on Tuesday, Kolby Crawford of 247Sports reports.

Impact Drones was taken out of last week's loss to Clemson after throwing a pick, but it now appears as though the gunslinger is dealing with an injury as well. His status will be worth monitoring all week, but if he's unable to go after the bye week, Colin Schlee should assume his role as the top gunslinger in Blacksburg.

Scores second TD of 2024 Greene gathered in 2 of 8 targets for 19 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 24-14 loss to Clemson.

Impact Greene's touchdown was his second of what's been a quiet, 10-catch, 177-yard season for the sophomore wideout. His eight targets, however, were easily a season high. Time will soon tell if that was an outlier, or if Greene will emerge as one of the Hokies' top young receivers as the season winds down.

Leads way through the air Felton reeled in 6 of 11 targets for 68 yards during Saturday's 24-14 loss to Clemson.

Impact Felton managed to be the Hokies' leading receiver in a tough loss to Clemson. The combination of Kyron Drones and Colin Schlee looked his way a total of 11 times combined, which is a good sign that whoever plays quarterback in Blacksburg, Felton figures to remain a top receiving option.

Extremely limited in return Tuten (ankle) posted four rushes for zero yards and caught all two targets for 21 yards during Saturday's 24-14 loss against Clemson.

Impact Tuten clearly wasn't himself against Clemson. Virginia Tech barely bothered to try to establish the running game, but when it did, Tuten found absolutely nothing on the ground. He missed just one game with his ankle injury, but it's fair to question his status for next week as the star tailback is clearly still dealing with some setbacks.

Takes over for struggling Drones Schlee was 7-for-17 passing for 73 yards, one touchdown and one interception during Saturday's 24-14 defeat versus Clemson. He also had five rushes for 28 yards.

Impact Schlee took over in the third quarter after a Drones interception with the Hokies already down 21-7 was apparently the last straw. Schlee, who started against Syracuse with Drones absent, wasn't much better. While he did throw a touchdown, it came with the game essentially out of reach already. There may be some intrigue at quarterback this week in Blacksburg.

Benched after interception Drones completed 9 of 20 passes for 115 yards and one interception during Saturday's 24-14 defeat versus Clemson. He also had 11 rushes for 13 yards.

Impact Drones and the Hokies' offense was stuck in the mud before a third quarter interception was the last straw and the quarterback was benched for Colin Schlee. Schlee didn't fare too much better, also throwing a pick. This was a tough showing for Drones, and just the second game all year he didn't account for a touchdown. There may be some quarterback controversy in Blacksburg this week.

Exits game in Week 11 Tuten (ankle) exited Saturday's game against Clemson with an apparent ankle injury, Damien Sordelett of The Roanoke Times reports.

Going through warmups Tuten (lower leg) was dressed and warming up ahead of Saturday's matchup versus Clemson, per Damien Sordelett of The Roanoke Times.

Impact Tuten will have a chance to make his return after missing last week's loss Syracuse, and how he fairs during warmups will likely determine his availability for Saturday's game. If Tuten ends up being unable to play, Jeremiah Coney would start in his place as Malachi Thomas has already been ruled out with an undisclosed injury.

Dressed and warming up Drones (foot) is in uniform and is warming up ahead of Saturday's game versus Clemson, Damien Sordelett of The Roanoke Times reports.

Impact Drones is officially a game-time decision for Saturday's game, so the fact that he's warming up is not too surprising. There is optimism that he will be able to start versus the Tigers given he was able to practice during the week.

Ruled out vs. Clemson Thomas (undisclosed) won't play against Clemson, Damien Sordelett of The Roanoke Times reports.

Impact Thomas will miss his first game of the season. With the starter Bhayshul Tuten probable, the Hokies' backfield should still be in good hands. Regardless, expect more carries from Jeremiah Coney, who played well last week in the absence of Tuten.

Game-time decision Saturday Tuten (lower leg) is officially a game-time decision for Saturday's game at Clemson, although there is optimism that he will suit up, Matt Zenitz of 247Sports.com reports.

Impact Tuten was able to practice during the week after missing last Saturday's loss to Syracuse. Although his status will not be determined until after pre-game warmups, there appears to be a good chance that he will give it a go versus Clemson. If he ends up not playing, Malachi Thomas would be set to start at running back.
