Foot sidelines Terry Hawthorne

Hawthorne had a screw inserted after suffering the injury in his fifth metatarsal. He'll miss Illinois' first two games against Missouri and Southern Illinois, and possibly more time.

"He had [the injury] as a junior in high school, and he didn't practice for a week," Illinois head coach Ron Zook said. "He's such a tough kid, he doesn't complain about anything. It bothered him a little bit during camp, but he never said anything, so he kept going."
