Forcier suffered the injury at the end of practice Tuesday and was spotted in a walking boot on campus Wednesday. He practiced on a limited basis Thursday.

"There’s probably a lot more drama out there than there really is. That sometimes happens," Rodriguez said. "I don’t know if he’s going to be able to go and take any reps during the spring game or not but he’s had a pretty solid spring."

If Forcier can't play, Denard Robinson and Devin Gardner will take the majority of snaps. Robinson has been pushing Forcier for the starting job this spring.
