(Sports Network) - Arizona State kicker Thomas Weber is expected to
miss the next 4-to-6 weeks with a torn tendon in the quadriceps/groin area of
his kicking leg.
Sun Devils head coach Dennis Erickson said in his weekly radio show with KTAR
that Weber will likely miss the next five or six games after an MRI exam on
Monday revealed the injury.
As a freshman in 2007, Weber hit 24-of-25 field goal attempts and 46-of-48
extra-point attempts to win the Lou Groza Award as the nation's top kicker.
He made 5-of-6 field goals in Arizona State's opener against Idaho State, but
sat out last Saturday's game against Louisiana-Monroe.
Freshman walk-on Bobby Wenzig handled the kicking chores this past Saturday
and will do so again this week when the Sun Devils visit Georgia.
