Morton\u2019s backup, redshirt freshman Will Hammond, has 57 pass attempts across six games.<\/p>\n
Hammond\u2019s best performance came at Utah when Morton exited with two separate injuries. He threw for 169 yards and two touchdowns (81.3% completion rate) with 61 rushing yards on eight carries.<\/p>\n
Sam Leavitt injury timeline<\/p>\n
Dillingham told\u00a0Arizona Sports\u2019 Bickley & Marotta before Leavitt was ruled out for the Utah game he had been \u201cbattling through\u201d the injury since the Baylor game on Sept. 20.<\/p>\n
He played one of his best games as a college quarterback the next week against TCU, and he got the following week worth of reps off during the bye. While he practiced the Tuesday and Wednesday before the Utah game, it was largely stationary work.<\/p>\n
Leavitt was listed as probable that Wednesday night in the first Big 12 availability report of the week, but he was downgraded to doubtful on Thursday night. He was ruled out<\/a> the following afternoon.<\/p>\n He traveled with the team to Salt Lake City, wearing a boot<\/a> over his right foot.<\/p>\n Kyson Brown\u2019s injury now long term, other Arizona State updates<\/p>\n Running back Kyson Brown will be out \u201cfor the foreseeable future, probably all the way through the (Nov. 8) bye,\u201d Dillingham said.<\/p>\n Brown has had 11 touches since returning from an ankle injury he initially suffered in the first half at Mississippi State in Week 2. He did not play at Utah, after which Dillingham revealed he had tweaked the ankle and the team didn\u2019t want to risk further injury in the rain.<\/p>\n With Kanye Udoh also not practicing due to illness, freshman Demarius \u201cMan Man\u201d Robinson took many of the first-team running back reps on Wednesday.<\/p>\n \u201cI have 100% trust in Man Man,\u201d Dillingham said. \u201cThat dude just cares. \u2026 You guys see it, work level\u2019s high. I can sleep at night knowing Man Man\u2019s gonna play.\u201d<\/p>\n ASU was also managing the health of center Wade Helton in the first week of practices without Ben Coleman on the line, so Makua Pule got most of the first-team reps on Wednesday.<\/p>\n Pule has mainly gotten on the field as a fullback in jumbo packages, with 19 such snaps last year and one this season against Baylor. He has 17 career in-game snaps at center, with most coming at the end of the Big 12 title game.<\/p>\n \u201cWhenever he jumps in, there\u2019s not a whole lot of stuff in him like, \u2018Hey, I don\u2019t even recognize what\u2019s going on,’\u201d offensive coordinator Marcus Arroyo said of Pule\u2019s practice. \u201cI think it\u2019s just the reality of a guy who just maybe has less reps and you may pay closer attention.\u201d<\/p>\n The first Big 12 availability report for the week, which will include designations for Leavitt, Brown, Udoh and Helton among others, will drop<\/a> at 7 p.m. MST.<\/p>\n
