Impact Crowder, who has been sidelined since Week 5 with an upper body injury, will sit out for the remainder of the season on the advice of the team's medical staff.

Questionable for next game Crowder (upper body) is questionable for Troy's game Saturday at Arkansas State, Josh Boutwell of The Troy Messenger reports.
Impact Troy's head coach Gerad Parker was not positive in describing Crowder's availability, going so far as to say the future of his season is "still in question" as of Monday.

Impact Crowder was a game-time decision ahead of the matchup, but it looks like the team will rest him through the bye week in hopes he'll be able to play on Oct. 15 against South Alabama.

Not seen warming up Thursday Crowder (undisclosed) has not been spotted warming up ahead of Thursday's game versus Texas State, Josh Boutwell of the Troy Messenger reports.
Impact Crowder is officially a game-time decision for Thursday's contest after being injured in Saturday's loss to Louisiana-Monroe. Crowder's backup, Tucker Kilcrease who is also a game-time decision, is warming up, so the early signs are leaning towards Kilcrease getting the start.

Game-time decision Thursday Crowder (undisclosed) is a game-time decision for the Trojans' game Thursday against Texas State, Josh Boutwell of The Troy Messenger reports.

Suffers injury in loss Crowder was 1-for-1 passing for 14 yards during Saturday's 13-9 loss to Louisiana-Monroe.
Impact Crowder was taken out of the game after being hit and drawing a roughing the passer call during Troy's first drive.

The Trojans still couldn't protect Crowder, allowing a sack that would knock the quarterback out of the contest permanently with an undisclosed injury. Crowder has already missed a game this season due to a shoulder injury. He won't have much time to recover before Troy plays Texas State on Thursday.
