Northwestern QB Green (foot) out for season


Northwestern quarterback TJ Green will miss the remainder of the 2019 season after undergoing foot surgery, coach Pat Fitzgerald confirmed on Thursday.

Green, a senior, was injured with 11:30 left in the third quarter of last Saturday’s loss to Stanford when he was sacked by two defenders.

Before the injury, he was 6-of-10 passing for 62 yards. Green was in relief of starter Hunter Johnson when the injury occurred.

He is the son of former NFL quarterback Trent Green. A fifth-year senior, he could seek a sixth-year hardship waiver.

Starting running back Isaiah Bowser, who left the Stanford game with a knee injury, was back at practice Thursday, Fitzgerald said.

The Wildcats next play on Sept. 14 against UNLV.
