Auburn quarterback Sean White is carrying an extra piece of equipment this spring as he competes for the starting job.
Doctors inserted a metal plate in his right forearm during the offseason from the injury he suffered during a 35-19 loss in the Sugar Bowl.
“I never got a cast,” White said. “I got a plate in there, so that was like a cast. I just wore a split or whatever you call it, but a couple of weeks ago I got it off. It’s much better without it.”
The plate remains as coaches keep a watchful eye on the quarterback’s rehab process.
