Virginia Tech QB Kyron Drones ruled out of game against Syracuse with back injury

Virginia Tech starting quarterback Kyron Drones has been ruled out of Saturday's game against Syracuse with a lower-body injury

5 HOURS AGO • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Bhayshul Tuten - Considered game-time call Tuten (lower leg) is still considered a game-time decision Saturday versus Syracuse, Brent Axe of The Syracuse Post-Standard reports.

Impact Tuten joined the Hokies for warmups, though he was seen heading to the locker room early, according to David Cunningham of the Tech Sideline. If Tuten ultimately can't play, Malachi Thomas figures to lead the Virginia Tech backfield.

Collin Schlee - Gets start vs. Syracuse Schlee will get the start for the Hokies with Kyron Drones unavailable, Damien Sordelett of The Roanoke Times reports.

Impact Schlee is set to make his first start of the season against the Orange. He's thrown all of one pass this fall, but will now take over as Virginia Tech's starting gunslinger for at least one game. Notably, the senior has a dual threat element to his game, similar to Drones, so it'll be interesting to see how much - if at all - Virginia Tech's game-plan changes at Syracuse.

Kyron Drones - Won't play Saturday Drones (undisclosed) is sidelined for Saturday's game versus Syracuse, Damien Sordelett of The Roanoke Times reports.

Impact Drones took part in warmups as usual, but it appears an issue that popped up late last week will keep the start signal-caller out of commission for at least a contest. Collin Schlee will draw the start in his place.

Bhayshul Tuten - Warming up Saturday Tuten (lower leg) has been spotted warming up ahead of the Hokies' clash with Syracuse, per Andy Bitter of Tech Sidelines.

Impact Tuten reportedly has his cleats and ankles taped while giving it a go in early warm-ups. Tuten remains firmly questionable, but it's clear that the tailback is doing everything in his power to play after it was reported that he's firmly questionable after being limited in practice. The star running back has 950 rushing yards and 12 touchdowns this fall.

Kyron Drones - Warming up vs. Orange Drones (undisclosed) is warming up ahead of the Hokies' clash with Syracuse, Andy Bitter of Tech Sidelines reports.

Impact There were notions that the starting quarterback could be limited, but Drones is warming up ahead early. The quarterback appears good to go, but it'll be worth monitoring his status as kickoff draws closer. The dual threat gunslinger has thrown for 1,447 yards, 10 touchdowns and five interceptions while rushing for 324 yards and six scores.

Bhayshul Tuten - Appears limited in practice Tuten (lower leg) didn't partake in Virginia Tech's practice during the media's viewing portion, Andy Bitter of Tech Sidelines reports.

Impact Tuten was seen practicing without a non-contact jersey, but reportedly didn't participate in the session at all while media was allowed to watch. The star tailback was considered probable earlier in the week due to positive reports about his availability and confidence from his teammates that he'd play, but this could throw a wrench in Tuten's availability if he's suffered a mid-week setback. The Hokies' top dog in the backfield is now firmly questionable for Saturday.

Bhayshul Tuten - Full participant in practice Tuten (lower leg) was a full participant at Virginia Tech's practice Wednesday.

Impact Tuten was seen practicing and without a non-contact jersey. This coupled with reports from earlier in the week saying the tailback is extremely likely to play seems to indicate beyond a shadow of a doubt that Tuten will play at Syracuse. He's been one of the most dynamic backs in the sport this fall, rushing for 950 yards and 12 touchdowns already.

Bhayshul Tuten - Probable for Week 10 Tuten (lower leg) is expected to be available for Saturday's game against Syracuse, David Cunningham of Tech Sideline reports.

Impact Tuten, who was spotted wearing a boot after Saturday's win over Georgia Tech, is not expected to miss any time as a result of his injury. The 5-foot-11 senior has been a monster for the Hokies this season, posting 142 carries for 950 yards (6.7 per carry), and 12 touchdowns across eight games. Tuten should be good to go for VT, but if he is ultimately unable to suit up, Malachi Thomas and Jeremiah Coney would likely split backfield duties for the Hokies.

Benji Gosnell - Productive outing in win Gosnell caught 5 of 6 targets for 59 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 21-6 victory over Georgia Tech.

Impact Gosnell had his most yards since the opener, and scored his second touchdown of the season. The Hokies' passing attack is somewhat tame with Kyron Drones at quarterback, so don't expect Gosnell to replicate these numbers all that frequently.

Bhayshul Tuten - Tame output in win Tuten (lower leg) tallied 17 rushes for 79 yards and gathered in 2 of 3 targets for five yards during Saturday's 21-6 win against Georgia Tech.

Impact After exploding for 266 yards against Boston College, Tuten had a quieter - but still effective - day against Georgia Tech. His streak of seven straight games with. touchdown to open the season was snapped, but the tailback remained a viable weapon for this offense. He'll look to get back into the end zone next week at Syracuse, so long as his lower leg injury doesn't prevent him from suiting up.

Kyron Drones - Does enough vs. Yellow Jackets Drones completed 16 of 27 passes for 128 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 21-6 victory versus Georgia Tech. He also had eight rushes for six yards with one touchdown.

Impact Drones didn't light up the stat sheet, but he didn't need to in a comfortable victory over Georgia Tech. He also protected the football after throwing a pick and losing a fumble the week prior. Drones won't blow you away statistically, but he's done enough to help Virginia Tech win three straight after the heartbreaking loss to Miami.

Tucker Holloway - Out indefinitely Head coach Brent Pry indicated that Holloway (knee) has not resumed practice with the team and did not set a definitive timeline for his return, per Tucker Terry of TechLunchPail.c...

Impact Holloway has yet to play in a game yet this season for the Hokies after suffering a knee injury in the off-season and doesn't appear to be close to a return. The junior receiver caught five passes for 49 yards while adding a 33 yards touchdown run for the Hokies in 2023 and was hoping to get more involved within the offensive gameplan going into the 2024 season prior to his injury. With no definitive timeline for his return, Holloway can likely be looked at as doubtful for Saturday's game against Syracuse.
