Notes: Leftwich out with arm injury

Related Topics: Quarterback, Cole Ford

The quarterback battle took an ominous turn as Mack Leftwich was held out of Friday's practice with an arm injury that is still being evaluated.

The injury came two days after tight end Cole Ford announced on twitter he was going to transfer.

Leftwich participated in Wednesday practice, but wasn't in pads Friday and spent it with the quarterbacks instead of with the strength and conditioning staff. Coach Sean Kugler didn't disclose the nature of Leftwich's injury but said it might not be good news. That leaves Ryan Metz and Kavika Johnson as the only quarterbacks currently on the roster.
