Shaw expected to be "just fine" following back spasms

Posted: Updated:

Gamecock starting quarterback Connor Shaw is expected to be "just fine" after missing practice yesterday following an issue with back spasms, according to The Big Spur.

Sources close to the situation tell the website that the training staff does not believe the situation is serious and Shaw should return to practice soon.

Head coach Steve Spurrier casually mentioned Shaw's injury during his call-in radio show on Thursday night. The coach believed the injury occurred during a weight lifting session.

"Hopefully it is nothing serious," Spurrier said.

The team, and fans, obviously, are hoping to have Shaw on the field next Thursday for the opener against Vanderbilt in Nashville.
