The leg injury Ben Humphreys suffered on the last play of the Duke’s loss at Army last Saturday will cause him to miss his first game this season.
The 6-2, 225-pound junior starting defensive linebacker will not play in Duke’s (4-6, 1-5 ACC) Saturday home game against Georgia Tech (5-4, 4-3), Blue Devils coach David Cutcliffe said.
Humphreys was helped off the field at Army after the final play from scrimmage in the Black Knights’ 21-16 win.
“It’s unfortunate,” Cutcliffe said. “He got cut late, late in the game. He’s done a good job with his rehab.
