Josh Hoover injury update: Indiana QB not on Hoosiers' final injury report

It looks to be a green light for Josh Hoover under center on Saturday against Minnesota.

The Indiana quarterback, who has battled an injury the last two weeks, was not listed on the Hoosiers' final Big Ten injury report ahead of their conference matchup on Saturday against the Gophers.

The Hoosiers and the Gophers are set for a 3:30 p.m. ET kickoff in Bloomington.

Hoover wasn't "100%" in Indiana's win last week vs. Michigan, but battled through his injury, though that presented challenges for Indiana's offense, which had just two passing attempts in the second half, one of which was a 21-yard gain to Brock Schott in overtime that set up Hoover's 4-yard game-winning rushing touchdown.

Josh Hoover injury update

Hoover sustained a shoulder injury against Ohio State back on Oct. 17, which he played through.

Speaking with reporters after last week's road win at Michigan, Hoover said he has no doubt in his mind that he would finish the game, though the Hoosiers had conversations at halftime to play backup quarterback, Grant Wilson.

"There was never any doubt in my mind that I was going to finish the game, regardless. You step on the field before the game even starts, you make your mind up, about what kind of day it's going to be. You are either going succumb to what's happening, or find a way," Hoover said last Saturday. " We found a way today."

Hoover started out as "probable" on the Big Ten injury report for Saturday's game vs. Minnesota.

"I think Josh he's had good week and I'm looking for him to have a really good game today," Indiana coach Curt Cignetti said on Saturday during his appearance on ESPN's "College GameDay."
