Not practicing Drones (undisclosed) isn't practicing for Virginia Tech, Kolby Crawford of 247Sports reports.
Impact Drones was deemed questionable on Tuesday, and now his status has been throw further into question given that he was absent from the Hokies' practice on Wednesday.

Questionable for Saturday Head coach Brent Pry labeled Drones (undisclosed) questionable for Saturday's game versus Duke, Damien Sordelett of The Roanoke Times reports.
Impact Drones had a bye week to rest what has plagued him between Weeks 11 and 12, but it appears his status for Week 13 hasn't been solidified as of yet. The star quarterback's availability may not be solidified until the team takes the field for warmups Saturday, with Collin Schlee presumably set to start if Drones can't go.
NOVEMBER 19, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Not dressed in practice Drones (undisclosed) wasn't dressed for Virginia Tech's practice on Tuesday, Kolby Crawford of 247Sports reports.
Impact Drones was taken out of last week's loss to Clemson after throwing a pick, but it now appears as though the gunslinger is dealing with an injury as well. His status will be worth monitoring all week, but if he's unable to go after the bye week, Colin Schlee should assume his role as the top gunslinger in Blacksburg.
