MINNEAPOLIS -- The status of quarterback Tanner Morgan is uncertain for No. 11 Minnesota's game at Northwestern after back-to-back sacks in the last game put the sophomore in the concussion protocol.
Coach P.J. Fleck said Tuesday that Morgan has made progress, but the Big Ten's leading passer has not been cleared. The Gophers (9-1, 6-1 Big Ten) play Saturday against the Wildcats (2-8, 0-7), with a one-game lead over Wisconsin in the West Division. Minnesota finishes the regular season Nov. 30 against the Badgers.
Morgan could be a game-time decision. If he doesn't play, either Jacob Clark or Cole Kramer would start.
