The injury struggles continued for Duke on Friday night when running back Jaquez Moore left the game against Northwestern with an ankle injury.
Moore was seen struggling to put weight on his right ankle in the first half. He left the game and was later seen in the third quarter wearing street clothes while sporting a walking boot.
He finished Friday’s game with 11 yards on three attempts. Moore compiled 674 rushing yards in 2023, the most of any returning player on Duke’s roster, and he scored the team’s first touchdown of the year last week against Elon.
Moore was not the only offensive starter to leave the game against Northwestern. Tight end Jeremiah Hasley was carted off in the second quarter after an awkward fall on punt protection.
