Boston College's Jon Hilliman out indefinitely with broken foot

Boston College will be without running back Jon Hilliman for an indefinite period of time due to a broken foot.

Hilliman suffered the injury in Sunday's win over Northern Illinois, a game where he posted 119 yards and a touchdown. Head coach Steve Adazio told Andrea Adelson of ESPN that Hilliman is expected to be out "weeks," but didn't have an exact timetable for his return.

The Eagles are already playing shorthanded on offense, with quarterback Darius Wade out for the year with an ankle injury. Center Frank Taylor, as well as tight ends Michael Giacone and Louie Addazio, are also banged up.

Tyler Rouse, who has posted an impressive 161 yards and five touchdowns this season, should get the majority of the carries while Hilliman is out.
