Auburn held it's second scrimmage of fall camp Saturday morning at Jordan-Hare Stadium, but senior quarterback Jeremy Johnson was not a participant.

reported the 6-foot-5, 234-pounder injured his right throwing hand earlier this week when it hit one of his teammates' helmets. Head coach Gus Malzahn said Johnson is "healthy" and continues to compete with junior college transfer John Franklin III and sophomore Sean White for the starting job.

"Jeremy, we did hold him out but it wasn't anything that was major," Malzahn said. "We just wanted to get some more information on those two. Don't read anything in between that, it's just that's what we chose to do with the Orange."

Johnson entered the 2015 season as the team's starter, but was inconsistent and was benched after the first three games. He returned for four more starts later in the year and finished with 1,053 passing yards with 10 touchdowns and seven interceptions.

"We're not ready to name a starter right now," Malzahn said. "That's not a bad thing. It's just once we make a call we want to be sure. This situational thing will help somewhat, but it's not like we're going to come out tomorrow and name a starter, so we still got work to do."
