Virginia Tech associate athletics director for sports medicine Mike Goforth released medical updates for quarterback Michael Brewer and running back Marshawn Williams. Brewer, who fractured his collarbone against Ohio State, has been cleared to fully participate in practice, but will wear a yellow non-contact jersey. On September 29, Williams re-injured his left knee (torn ACL) that had previously been repaired on December 16, 2014. Marshawn will require another surgery and will be out for the remainder of the season. Hokies' head coach Frank Beamer will apply for a medical hardship waiver through the ACC.

Brewer has been throwing the football for a few weeks now, but that's not the only hurdle to get him back on the field.
