Duke linebacker Koby Quansah underwent surgery to a fractured left foot that will knock the Blue Devils defensive player out on an indefinite basis. Duke announced the surgery and status of Quansah Thursday.
According to a statement from Duke’s athletic department, Quansah injured his foot in practice on Wednesday. Specifically, Quansah injured his fifth metatarsal bone in his left foot. The bone is located on the outside of the foot and is part of the little toe. How long the rehab from the surgery will keep Quansah out of action from practice and potential game time is unknown at this time, hence the indefinite status announced by Duke.
In five games this season, Quansah has 14 tackles. Duke has listed Quansah as the primary backup to Ben Humphreys. Humphreys is Duke’s second-leading tackler this season, but losing a backup like Quansah is certainly a blow to the depth on Duke’s defense.
