With this year’s spring game right around the corner for the Yellow Jackets, Paul Johnson will be short an arm for the rest of camp.

Quarterback Matthew Jordan, who is considered the lead candidate to replace Justin Thomas in 2017, suffered a foot injury during practice.

Jordan apparently suffered the injury during a non-contact intrasquad scrimmage on Saturday and is expected to miss the rest of Georgia Tech‘s spring camp, according to the school.

In a statement released by Georgia Tech, head coach Paul Johnson seemed confident that Jordan would be back to compete in the summer.

“It’s unfortunate that Matthew will miss the rest of the spring but we’re looking forward to getting him back and competing for the starting position as soon as possible”

A redshirt junior, Jordan spend a couple of seasons as a clear backup to starter Justin Thomas and saw limited action, especially in short-yardage situations due to his strength and up-the-middle running ability.

A native of Fairford, Alabama, Jordan has over 100 career rushing attempts at Georgia Tech. He played in eight games in 2016, and five games the year prior.

Jordan started against (then) No. 18 Virginia Tech in 2016. He rushed for 121 yards and two touchdowns in that game, and threw for another 34.
