Out for Week 14 Madsen (ankle) is out for Friday's game at Utah State, Shaun Goodwin of the Idaho Statesman reports.

Impact Madsen will finish the 2025 regular season with another DNP. Boise State's team may qualify for the Mountain West Championship, so there is potentially one more opportunity for him to play this year. Madsen will have to hope that Max Cutforth can lead the Broncos to a successful result at Utah State in order to play for the conference title.

Expected to be out Friday Madsen (ankle) is "expected to be out" for Friday's game at Utah State, Shaun Goodwin of The Idaho Statesman reports.

Impact It hasn't been made official yet, but all signs point to Madsen being sidelined for the regular-season finale Friday. If that ends up being the case, then Max Cutforth would get the start in the Week 14 contest.

'Long shot' for Utah State game Madsen (ankle) "is going to be a long shot" to play in Week 14 against Utah State, per Jay Trust of Bronco Sports.

Impact Madsen appears slated to miss three straight games to close out the season for Boise State. There's still a chance he manages to suit up, as it's early in the week, but again, it's a "long shot." That likely means Max Cutforth will get the start for the Broncos once again.

Out for Week 13 Madsen (ankle) is out for Saturday's game against Colorado State, Shaun Goodwin of the Idaho Statesman reports.

Impact Now that Madsen is out for Week 13, he will have one last opportunity to participate in 2025 regular-season play. The chance comes Nov. 28 at Utah State. Max Cutforth has started in place of an injured Madsen, and that is expected to continue until further notice.

Avoids surgery Madsen (ankle) won't undergo surgery as he looks to return at some point in 2025, per Shaun Goodwin of the Idaho Statesman.

Impact Madsen was ruled out for "a while" after he was injured against Fresno State, but the quarterback still has hope to return at some point this season though he remains unavailable for Week 12 against San Diego State. He continues to rehab his ankle, and the fact that he doesn't need surgery certainly bodes well for his chances to return this fall. Madsen has tossed for 1,993 yards, 15 touchdowns and 7 interceptions with three rushing scores as well.

Impact Madsen was carted to the locker room with an ankle injury during Saturday's game and was seen on the sidelines wearing a boot and using crutches. While there hasn't been a firm timeline established for Madsen's return, it looks as though the Broncos will be without their starting quarterback for multiple games. Boise State has a bye in Week 11, then will play a game in three consecutive weeks to close out the season. Max Cutforth replaced Madsen on Saturday and will likely remain in the starting role for the duration of Madsen's absence.

Spotted with boot, crutches Madsen (ankle) has been spotted wearing a boot and sporting crutches on Boise State's sideline during the Broncos' game against Fresno State, per KTIK 95.3 FM The Ticket.

Impact Madsen was carted to the locker room during the first quarter, and appeared highly doubtful to return. Indeed, the gunslinger is now wearing a boot and using crutches to get around, meaning his day is all but done. The gunslinger completed just 1-of-4 passes for -4 yards before he was knocked out of the game. Max Cutforth has replaced him against the Bulldogs.

Carted to locker room Madsen (ankle) was carted to the locker room during Boise State's game against Fresno State on Saturday, per Shaun Goodwin of the Idaho Statesman.

Impact Madsen reportedly could barely put any weight on his ankle and needed trainers to assist him off the field in the first quarter. The quarterback had completed just 1-of-4 passes for -4 yards before getting knocked out of the game. In his stead, Max Cutforth looks primed to step in at signal caller.

Leads Broncos past Nevada Madsen was 15-for-28 passing for 174 yards and an interception during Friday's 24-3 win against Nevada. He also had eight rushes for 15 yards with a touchdown.

Impact It wasn't Madsen's best game, as his completion percentage of 53.6 marked a season low while throwing for fewer than 200 yards for the first time this year. However, he was able to do enough to lead Boise State to a comfortable victory over the Wolf Pack. Overall, Madsen's completed 60.2 percent of his passes for 1,997 yards with 15 touchdowns and seven interceptions across eight games this season. The Broncos will host Fresno State next week.

Impact It was a rough day for Maddux, who's four interceptions mark a career high -- he'd thrown just one pick in his first four games this year after throwing six all of last season. Look for Maddux to bounce back next week in a friendlier matchup at home with New Mexico.
