Baylor University quarterback DJ Lagway is currently considered day-to-day as he recovers from an ankle injury, according to head coach Dave Aranda. The team is optimistic that Lagway will be available to play in their upcoming game against Prairie View A&M on Saturday.

Lagway sustained the injury during Baylor's narrow 17-16 loss to Auburn in their season opener. Despite the injury, he played the entire game and contributed significantly to the Bears' offense, completing 27 of 54 passes for 333 yards, along with two touchdowns and one interception.

In a notable performance, Lagway helped orchestrate a comeback after trailing 17-10 late in the fourth quarter. He connected on a crucial fourth-and-10 with a 28-yard pass to Gavin Freeman, followed by a 27-yard pass to Jadon Porter, which set up a 5-yard touchdown pass to Freeman just nine seconds before the game's conclusion.

Further updates on Lagway's condition are expected following practice sessions on Tuesday and Wednesday, as the team monitors his recovery.

This situation remains fluid, and more details regarding Lagway's status for the game against Prairie View A&M will be provided as they become available.
