PHOTO: Indiana QB Kurtis Rourke Posted Gruesome New Close-Up Photo Of His Gnarly Thumb Injury He Battled Throughout Season, And It’ll Make You Sick To Your Stomach

Indiana Hoosiers quarterback Kurtis Rourke showed a close-up photo of the painful and gnarly-looking thumb injury he fought through this season before getting eliminated from the postseason by the Notre Dame Fighting Irish.

Kurtis Rourke and the No. 10-ranked Hoosiers fell 27-17 to Notre Dame in the first round of the College Football Playoff, the first year with the 12-team format. Rourke struggled against a stingy Fighting Irish defense, going 20-of-33 for just 215 yards, two touchdowns and an interception in the loss.

Nonetheless, it was a tremendous success of a season for Indiana. And after his team was eliminated from the CFP, Rourke took to X/Twitter to thank the Hoosiers fans for their support in 2024.

If you zoom in on his right throwing hand in the image below, you’ll see the painful-looking thumb injury Kurtis Rourke fought through that caused him to miss a game against Washington:
