Liberty will likely be without top pass rusher Jason Horn when it faces William & Mary Saturday at Williams Stadium.
Horn was injured at the end of Wednesday's practice and didn't dress for Thursday's practice, instead walking the sidelines in a tee shirt and shorts with a large brace on his left leg.
LU head coach Danny Rocco wasn't sure of the extent of the injury and said he'd know more after Horn undergoes an MRI today. Rocco said Horn is doubtful for Saturday's game, and if Horn can't go, Tyler Turner will start in his place.
"We watched the film real close and I don't really know (what happened). I personally think that two guys banged knees. I don't know if that's truly what happened.
"We've got to move some people around. We've got some guys we can put in there. Obviously, we're going to miss Jason if he cannot play. There will be some decisions made here gametime as to his status."
Horn is tied for sixth nationally with five sacks and is tied for second on Liberty's team with 27 tackles. Horn immediately went for treatment after practice Thursday and was unavailable for comment
