Has the Maryland quarterback injury bug bitten again?
Not really, but the Terps are down one player at that position.
A year after taking over as the starter when both Tyrrell Pigrome and Kasim Hill suffered season-ending ACL injuries within the first three games, Max Bortenschlager saw his junior year end prematurely.
According to a team spokesman, the junior quarterback underwent season-ending ankle surgery. Bortenschlager wasn’t present for the 30-minute portion of practice Tuesday viewed by the media, prompting questions about his status.
While his injury won’t affect the Terps as long as Hill and Pigrome stay healthy, Bortenschlager’s role as the holder for extra-point and field-goal attempts will have to be filled, starting with Saturday’s road game against No.
