Doubtful for Week 11 Hughes (forearm) is doubtful for Wyoming's clash with UTEP in Week 11, per Ryan Thornburn of Wyoming Athletics.

Impact Hughes is dealing with a "small fracture" in his right forearm and his status doesn't look good for the clash with the Miners. The quarterback still has a shot to return, but as of now Wyoming is hoping the ailment isn't season-ending. If Hughes can't go in Week 11 and beyond, expect Landon Simms to slide into the QB1 role in Laramie.

Banged up in win over UNLV Hughes suffered a right forearm injury in the win over UNLV on Saturday, per Cody Tucker of LaramieLive.com.

Impact Hughes was reportedly unable to grip the ball after he got banged up against the Runnin' Rebels, and there's currently no timetable for his return; the quarterback hasn't been ruled out for Week 11 at UTEP, but he also has a very real chance to miss the remainder of the season. If that's the case, the Cowboys figure to turn to Landon Sims at signal-caller.
