Florida State's Ponder to miss Wake Forest game

TALLAHASEE, Fla.(AP) — Florida States says quarterback Christian
Ponder has a separated right shoulder and will miss the
Seminoles’ next game against Wake Forest on Saturday.

Ponder injured the shoulder of his throwing arm while making a
tackle in the fourth quarter of Saturday’s 40-24 loss to
Clemson. Florida State is 4-5.

Redshirt freshman E.J. Manuel is expected to replace Ponder and
would be making his first career start. Manuel has played in two
games this season, completing 1 of 2 passes for 4 yards.

FSU director of sports medicine Randy Oravetz said Sunday that
Ponder will have the shoulder examined Monday.
