It has not been a good couple of days for Washington State Cougars starting quarterback Jeff Tuel. First, the QB was forced to sit out the beginning of WSU's game against Idaho State due to a stomach virus. Then, when he entered the game, he was injured and forced to come out of the game during his first series.

He was taken to the locker room for x-rays, and it has since been revealed that Tuel has suffered a fractured left clavicle, or a broken collarbone. He appeared to sustain the injury before he came out of the game, finishing the drive while he was probably in some considerable pain.

Tuel will likely be out for a considerable period of time as a result of the injury. His replacement is Marshall Lobbestael, who has performed well so far against Idaho State. However, that's unlikely to take too much of the sting of the injury away from Tuel or Washington State fans.
