DURHAM, N.C. (AP) Duke says quarterback Thomas Sirk will miss the season after tearing the Achilles tendon he first tore in February.

Coach David Cutcliffe said Saturday that the redshirt senior will have surgery to repair the partial tear in his left Achilles tendon.

This marks the third injury to an Achilles tendon since 2013 for Sirk, who led Duke in rushing and passing last season and was the co-MVP of the Blue Devils' Pinstripe Bowl victory over Indiana.

He tore the tendon during an offseason conditioning workout on Feb. 9. He reinjured it during practice Thursday night, and was evaluated Friday.

Cutcliffe has said redshirt freshman Daniel Jones has been taking most of the first-team snaps during practice.
