In Tuesday’s press conference ahead of the Horned Frogs’ clash with the BYU Cougars, quarterback Josh Hoover provided some clarity on the situation regarding a potential thumb injury.
After a play against West Virginia, Hoover was seen coming off the field while holding onto his throwing hand. Speculation over the bye week insisted that the TCU quarterback had surgery, but it was quickly dispelled by Sonny Dykesduring his midweek media availability, yet Hoover wore a red glove on his throwing hand in Saturday's loss to Iowa State.
On Tuesday, Hoover said, “I hurt a ligament in my thumb against West Virginia, and so I felt like it was the best decision to allow me to throw the ball as good as I can.” He continued, “It didn’t hinder me at all; my thumb felt good. I don’t think I’ll have to wear it this week.”
