Southeast Missouri State Redhawks junior wide receiver Paul McRoberts is out indefinitely with a Lisfranc, or midfoot, fracture in his right foot according to a Southeast Missourian article.

He injured his foot in the third quarter of Saturday's game against the No. 3 Southeastern Louisiana Lions (2-2) and left the game but was only treated for cramps and not his foot.

McRoberts caught the game-winning touchdown pass with 4.6 seconds left against the Lions.

McRoberts leads the team in receiving with 23 receptions, 364 receiving yards and six receiving touchdowns that is tied for first in the Football Championship Subdivision.

The next leading receivers for the Redhawks is junior wide receiver Peter Lloyd who has nine receptions, 111 receiving yards and has yet to catch a touchdown pass this season.

Senior quarterback Kyle Snyder has a total of eight passing touchdowns this season with six of them going to McRoberts.

The only other players with a touchdown catch from Snyder are senior wide receiver Spencer Davis and junior running back DeMichael Jackson.

Jackson is also out with an injury. He suffered a broken hand in Southeast's second game of the season which was against the Kansas Jayhawks (2-1) where they lost 34-28 on Sept. 6.

Sophomore defensive end Selwyn Carrol suffered the same injury McRoberts did against the Lions in the same game on Saturday in the first half.

There is currently no timetable for either player's return and according to a Southeast Missourian article, Southeast coach Tom Matukewicz said it could be four to eight weeks before their return.
