The health of Akron quarterback Kato Nelson.
An apparent arm injury sidelined Nelson in the first half of Akron’s 37-29 loss to UMass on Sept. 28. Nelson could be seen with his arm in a sling without pads during the second half, according to George Thomas of the Akron Beacon Journal. There have been no updates for his status Saturday.
Nelson accounted for 1,063 passing yards in four and a half games, prior to his injury.
The passing game will need to take shots down the field against Akron’s limited defense.
The “FlashFast” struggled at Wisconsin.
