Kansas State QB Skylar Thompson is Out for Game vs. TCU

As the Kansas State Wildcats get set to hit the road on Saturday to take on the TCU Horned Frogs, K-State will be without their starting quarterback Skylar Thompson.
Yahoo Sports’ Pete Thamel had the news on Twitter.
Thompson got hurt in last week’s win over Texas Tech after taking a bit hit to the shoulder region. The Wildcats turned to freshman Will Howard in that game and he was able to lead the team back from a 21-17 deficit in the second half for a 31-21 win.
Howard will get the start today. Last week he went 7 of 12 for 173 yards with one touchdown pass.
Howard is a Downington, Pennsylvania native, who according to 247Sports, was a three-star prospect and the No. 33 pro-style QB in the country and 8th-ranked prospect in Pennsylvania.
The Wildcats are off to a 2-1 start this season. After a season-opening loss to Arkansas State, the Wildcats are tied for first place at 2-0 in the Big 12 after wins over Oklahoma and Tech. Meantime, TCU is 1-1, with a loss to Iowa State and a win over Texas last week.
Kansas State kicks off against TCU at 3:00 on FOX.
