Indiana quarterback Michael Penix Jr. is expected to miss the rest of the season due to the lower leg injury he suffered on Saturday, reports The Athletic's Bruce Feldman.

Penix exited the Hoosiers' 27–11 win over Maryland late in the third quarter and did not return to the game. He sustained the injury when running for 21 yards to the Terrapins' three-yard line. The sophomore stayed on the ground and was visibly in pain before he was helped off the field and headed to the locker room. Redshirt sophomore Jack Tuttle finished the game in Penix's absence, going 5-for-5 for 31 yards.
