Tony Elliott gave a brief update on Tony Muskett’s injury in his postgame press conference on Saturday afternoon.

Muskett was forced to leave UVA’s 49-13 loss to Tennessee on Saturday afternoon. Elliott confirmed that Muskett is dealing with a shoulder injury, but the severity is not yet known.

“We know it’s his shoulder,” Elliott said. “Right now, we don’t know the extent. We’ll get back, get some X-rays to find out. Obviously he couldn’t return to the game. Hoping for the best but still don’t know for sure.”

Muskett completed 9-of-17 passes for 94 yards before having to exit the game. Virginia’s offense struggled all game long against Tennessee’ physical defensive front.

He was replaced by true freshman quarterback Anthony Colandrea, who completed 2-of-7 passes in his collegiate debut.

If Muskett is not able to return to the lineup next week, it would be a big loss for Virginia. He won the starting QB job this fall after transferring in from Monmouth this offseason.

Virginia will play James Madison in Week 2.
