"Virginia quarterback Chandler Morris is progressing toward returning to play on Saturday, sources tell ESPN's Pete Thamel. There's optimism Morris will start for Virginia at Duke as he continues to work his way through concussion protocol. A final decision on his status isn't expected until game time, sources added. Morris exited last week's loss to Wake Forest after taking a hit to the head in the second quarter."
"He was taken to the locker room before being ruled out for the remainder of the game, finishing 3-of-6 for 19 yards and 6 rushing yards before his injury. Morris has thrown for 2,088 yards, 12 touchdowns and five interception on the season. If Morris is not cleared to play, backup quarterback Daniel Kaelin will get the nod. The sophomore came on in relief of Morris last week but could never get the Virginia offense going, finishing 18-of-28 for 145 yards and 49 yards rushing,"
Chandler Morris is progressing through concussion protocol and could start for Virginia at Duke, with a final clearance decision reserved for game time. Morris left the Wake Forest game after a second-quarter hit to the head and was ruled out for the remainder after being taken to the locker room. He has 2,088 passing yards, 12 touchdowns and five interceptions this season. If not cleared, backup Daniel Kaelin would start; Kaelin relieved Morris last week, completing 18-of-28 for 145 passing yards and 49 rushing yards but losing two fumbles. The Wake Forest loss ended Virginia's seven-game winning streak and left the Cavaliers in a five-way tie atop the ACC with one conference loss, including Duke.
