Texas State Bobcats fans are left anxious as quarterback Jordan McCloud faces an uncertain recovery following an injury during a recent game. McCloud’s absence could impact the Bobcats’ offense significantly, leaving questions about how his leadership and passing will be missed in upcoming matchups.
Here’s a closer look at Jordan McCloud’s injury and his potential timeline for return.
How did Jordan McCloud get injured while playing football?
Texas State quarterback Jordan McCloud suffered an ankle injury during the first half of the Bobcats match against Louisiana. Late in the second quarter, McCloud seemingly rolled his ankle, leading to his early exit from the game, which the Bobcats ultimately lost. R.J. Martinez filled in for the remainder of the match.
Coach G.J. Kinne noted that McCloud’s condition was monitored on the sidelines. The quarterback was seen tossing the ball during the second half. However, Kinne chose not to risk McCloud’s return. He was concerned that continuing to play on one leg could aggravate the injury. Before his injury, McCloud completed 12 of 18 passes for 88 yards. His performance showed steady control of the offense.
When will Jordan McCloud return to play with the Texas State Bobcats?
The exact timeline for Jordan McCloud’s return is uncertain, as further evaluation will determine the severity of his ankle injury.
Coach Kinne expressed optimism, suggesting McCloud should be “okay,” but declined to confirm any specific return date until additional medical assessments are completed. (via Express News)
McCloud’s injury is a setback for the Texas State Bobcats. They rely heavily on his leadership and passing skills. With McCloud absent, the team lost momentum. Martinez stepped up but faced challenges maintaining the pace McCloud set in the first half. Texas State’s upcoming game against Louisiana-Monroe Warhawks will test their adaptability without their starting quarterback if McCloud cannot play.
The Bobcats currently hold a 4-4 record and continue to push for a solid season. McCloud’s health remains critical for their progress. Coach Kinne and the team are hopeful for his quick recovery. They aim to return to full strength as they face their next Sun Belt Conference opponents.
