Illinois junior QB Nathan Scheelhaase will not play Saturday against Charleston Southern.

Scheelhaase injured his left ankle during the team's game against Arizona State. Prior reports stated that the junior was close to playing, so we expect him to suit up next week.

Nathan Scheelhaase - QB - Fighting Illini

When asked if junior QB Nathan Scheelhaase would play this week versus Charleston Southern, Illinois head coach Tim Beckman stated that "We don't have any time to rest."

From that statement, we guess Scheelhaase is ready to return from a left ankle injury that kept him out of last week's matchup against Arizona State. The Illini offense really struggled without the junior, managing only 14 points in the game.

Nathan Scheelhaase - QB - Fighting Illini

Illinois junior QB Nathan Scheelhaase is listed as questionable for the team's game against Arizona State after suffering a left ankle injury in the opener.

Scheelhaase did practice Sunday night, but according to head coach Tim Beckman, "He was out there, definitely not full-go. I know Nathan is going to do whatever he can to be out there on Saturday." Beckman went on to basically say that unless his quarterback participates fully in practice, he will not play in Saturday's contest. If the junior is out, sophomore Reilly O’Toole will get the start.

Nathan Scheelhaase - QB - Fighting Illini

The shoulder injury that forced Illinois quarterback Nathan Scheelhaase from last week’s game should not prevent him from playing Saturday.

Scheelhaase and the Fighting Illini host Western Michigan on Saturday. While the Broncos are a solid MAC program, coach Ron Zook might want to give his quarterback a quick hook if Illinois gets a sizable lead. The Big Ten schedule kicks off next week with Northwestern coming to Champaign.
