Maddux Madsen‘s Status Uncertain for Boise State’s Finale

Boise State starting quarterback Maddux Madsen is a “long shot” to play in Friday’s regular-season finale at Utah State, Broncos head coach Spencer Danielson said on Monday.

Madsen suffered an unspecified lower leg injury on Nov. 1 against Fresno State and has missed the last two games.

“He’s doing a grate job in the training room, he’s getting much closer,” danielson said. “But I still think it’s going to be tough for him to be able to play this weekend.”

The Broncos (7-4, 5-2 Mountain West) will get back leading receiver Chris Marshall this week, Danielson said. Marshall hasn’t played as an Oct. 24 win at Nevada.

Starting left guard Jason Steele could also return against the Aggies (6-5, 4-3). Wide receiver Latrell Caples suffered an apparent head injury in Saturday’s win over Colorado State and is questionable this week.
