Duke quarterback Riley Leonard will miss an «extended period of time» with a left toe injury suffered late in the game against Louisville on Saturday, sources told ESPN.
His absence against Wake Forest on Thursday night means that true freshman Grayson Loftis will get his first career start. He's thrown just five total passes in his career.
A definitive timetable on Leonard's potential return from this injury has yet to be determined, per sources. It's not a certainty that he'll be back this year, per ESPN sources, although any possibility of a return would come much later in the year.
Leonard emerged this year as one of the sport's breakout stars, leading Duke to its highest Associated Press poll ranking — No.
