Maine quarterback Adam Farkes sustained a significant shoulder injury in Saturday's 27-10 upset over Delaware, and may be out of the lineup for a substantial amount of time according to Coach Jack Cosgrove.

Cosgrove addressed Farkes' status in Monday morning's Colonial Athletic Association conference call.

"He won't be around for a while," said Cosgrove. "I don't know exactly what the extent of the injury will be until tomorrow. . . Certainly he's going to be missed."

Farkes had offseason shoulder surgery after last season on the same shoulder.

Backup Michael Brusko entered the game late in the second quarter with Maine trailing 10-3.

Maine tailback Jhamal Fluellen will not play with the Black Bears again this weekend when the team resumes its schedule with a 6 p.m. game at No. 24 ranked Delaware.

Fluellen has an undisclosed injury and is still seeking medical evaluation before talking about his prognosis. He is week to week.

Fluellen leads Maine in rushing with 341 net yards on 72 carries in four games.
