Auburn QB Payton Thorne still nursing injury to throwing shoulder

AUBURN, Ala. -- Auburn quarterback Payton Thorne's status is uncertain for Saturday's game against Louisiana-Monroe.

Tigers coach Hugh Freeze said Thorne did not practice during the open date last week after injuring his right, throwing shoulder in a loss to Vanderbilt and that it's still not fully healed.

"Not as far along as I had hoped with the shoulder," Freeze said on Wednesday. "He thinks he's going to be fine. But he was not ready to play (Tuesday) for sure."

Thorne has passed for 1,825 yards with 13 touchdowns against seven interceptions.
