Virginia quarterback Chandler Morris was knocked out of the No. 14 Cavaliers' 16-9 loss to Wake Forest on Saturday night after taking a hit to the head in the second quarter.
Morris took a hard hit as he was sandwiched between defenders while sliding following a run. He went into the locker room and was ruled out for the rest of the game. He later returned to the sideline in street clothes.
Virginia coach Tony Elliott said he would know more about Morris' status after further testing over the next few days. The Cavaliers play at Duke next Saturday.
"He came back out, he was in street clothes. He said he was feeling all right," Elliott said. "We'll know more when we get some more tests, but we have to take that with a lot of caution. From what I'd seen out there, it seemed like he was doing OK."
Backup quarterback Daniel Kaelin entered the game in relief but could never get the Virginia offense going. Kaelin went 18-of-28 for 145 yards and added 49 yards on the ground. But he also lost two fumbles -- the first two fumbles Virginia lost this season.
With an opportunity to tie the game, Kaelin threw incomplete in the end zone on fourth-and-3 from the Wake Forest 5 with 13 seconds left in the game.
Morris was 3-of-6 for 19 yards and had 6 rushing yards before leaving the game.
The loss ended Virginia's seven-game winning streak and was its first in ACC play. The Cavaliers are now in a five-way tie atop the ACC standings with four other teams that have one conference loss.
