Uzomah out indefinitely

Tight end C.J. Uzomah was out of Saturday’s game with a hand injury and his status for the rest of the season will be taken on a week-by-week basis, Auburn coach Chizik said.

“That’s an unfortunate situation and we’re not sure exactly where we’re at with that,” Chizik said of Uzomah who has five receptions for 113 yards and a touchdown this season, catching his first career TD against Texas A&M. “Kind of a freak accident (at practice) with his hand. We’re going to keep close tabs on it but that’ll be touch-and-go I’m going to say every week.”

Brandon Fulse made his first start of the season in place of Uzomah, who took over the starting tight end role from Philip Lutzenkirchen, who is out for the season with a hip injury.
