Navy offensive coordinator Ivin Jasper said Zach Abey could be back in the mix at quarterback next week.
Abey returned to the starting lineup at wide receiver on Saturday after sitting out the Air Force game with a leg injury. The Archbishop Spalding product hurt his left knee during the second half of the SMU contest on Sept. 22.
Abey played strictly a blocking role in Saturday’s 24-17 loss to Temple and was not used as the short-yardage or goal-line quarterback as he was through Navy’s first four games. The 6-foot-2, 212-pound senior was wearing a bulky knee brace during practice last week and appeared to have a slight hitch when running sprints.
