The Navy Midshipmen are hoping to continue to right their season following a win against USF last week. However, during their latest game against the Tulane Green Wave, starting QB Blake Horvath was injured and taken to the injury tent early in the first quarter.
Here’s the latest information we have.
Blake Horvath Injury Update
It has been ruled that Horvath will miss the remainder of the game against Tulane with back spasms. Here’s how that went down as the focus now shifts to Horvath’s status for Navy’s remaining games this year.
Horvath started the game and had the Midshipmen moving on two separate drives. But with 6:08 remaining in the first quarter, Horvath’s game looked in doubt.
On a 2nd & 6 from the Navy 46, Horvath took a shotgun snap and ran a designed QB sweep to the left. The blocking folded in front of him and he was forced to go to the right.
With a closing defensive back right around the first-down line, Horvath was met by a sandwich of Tulane defenders and came down hard on his shoulder for a first down. He stayed on the ground and doubled over before ultimately exiting the game.
After TV replays were shown, it wasn’t quite clear what ailment Horvath was suffering from. He walked gingerly to the sidelines and entered the blue injury tent soon thereafter.

It was later revealed on the broadcast that Horvath was reportedly suffering from back spasms.
Horvath was then shown on the exercise bike. Word was that he was attempting to re-enter the game but later was shown re-entering the injury tent.
The Navy offense runs through Horvath as he is the first Navy QB with 10 rushing touchdowns and 10 passing touchdowns in over a decade and one of just four players nationally to accomplish such a feat in 2024. Braxton Woodson replaced Horvath in the lineup for the Midshipmen.
