Florida State quarterback DJ Uiagalelei is questionable for Saturday's home game against No. 15 Clemson due to a finger injury.

Coach Mike Norvell confirmed Monday that his signal-caller's status will be evaluated during the week. Uiagalelei and backup Brock Glenn are both listed atop the depth chart for the Seminoles (1-4, 1-3 ACC) against the Tigers (3-1, 2-0).

Uiagalelei's hand was hit while throwing a pick-six, his third interception of the game, in the fourth quarter of Saturday's 42-16 defeat at SMU.

Uiagalelei, who began his career at Clemson (2020-22) before playing last season at Oregon State, has been underwhelming for the disappointing Seminoles. He has completed 53.8 percent of his passes for 1,065 yards with four touchdowns and six interceptions in five starts.

"DJ did make a lot of good throws throughout the course of the game and some good decisions," Norvell said Monday. "He made some poor decisions and a couple bad throws, but you've got to help the quarterback. I don't think we've done a good job of that consistently. At the end of the day, we all have to have ownership in that."

Making his first appearance of the season against the Mustangs, Glenn was 0-for-4 passing after replacing Uiagalelei. He completed 19 of 51 passes for 229 yards and two interceptions in five games in 2023.
