Kansas State quarterback Skylar Thompson is out indefinitely but will return at some point this season after sustaining a right knee injury in Saturday's game against Southern Illinois, coach Chris Klieman said Monday.
Thompson was injured while blocking for teammate Deuce Vaughn on a run play in the first quarter, although Thompson didn't absorb any contact on the play. He had to be helped off the field.
A 32-game starter for Kansas State, Thompson ranks in the top 10 in team history in several major categories, including career passing (5,261 yards), completions (402) and passing touchdowns (30).
