Not expected to play vs. Cyclones Leavitt (undisclosed) isn't expected to be available for Arizona State in Week 10 against Iowa State, per Matt Zenitz of CBSSports.com.
Impact Leavitt was banged up during Arizona State's loss to Houston, but ultimately returned to action after a brief visit to the locker room. He wound up still throwing for 270 yards and a score, but the quarterback appears to not be at full strength coming off the injury and his status is in doubt for Saturday afternoon. If he can't go, Jeff Simms should draw the start once again.

Inefficient in Saturday's loss Leavitt completed 18 of 35 passes for 270 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 24-16 defeat against Houston. He also had six rushes for 22 yards.
Impact Leavitt did not have a great outing Saturday as he completed just over 50 percent of his passes and lost a fumble. He threw one touchdown, a three-yard pass to Cameron Harpole in the fourth quarter. Some of his lack of production could be explained by his star receiver Jordan Tyson (hamstring) being out. Leavitt also left the game in the first quarter with an injury but made a quick return, then missed the final two drives but if it's unclear if that was performance related or injury related.

Impact Leavitt made a quick trip back to the locker room but returned to the sideline to join the offense ahead of their next possession just before the conclusion of the first quarter. He should continue to man the offense while Jeff Sims is available should Leavitt be forced out again.
