Connor Shaw Injury Update
There are a ton of rumors out there regarding Connor Shaw’s injury.
Steve Spurrier provided some clarity on that situation earlier today. Some of it is good, some of it not so much.
"This is not a surgery-type injury," Spurrier said of Shaw. "It's not going to get any worse, they say."

So, to recap: Shaw probably has a hairline fracture in his shoulder blade. Ouch. Also, it won’t require surgery and can’t get worse. Finally, Shaw will probably play against Missouri. Well, you can’t say the guy isn’t tough.
Some other notes from Spurriers teleconference:
Thought the second offensive line did a good job and jobs are up for grabs on the line.
