Baylor quarterback DJ Lagway is expected to miss Saturday’s game against Prairie View A&M after suffering an ankle injury in the team’s season opener against Auburn. His availability for the game is still uncertain, including whether he will dress, according to a report cited by sports.yahoo.com.
Nate Bennett is expected to take over as Baylor’s starting quarterback for the first time in his career. Bennett has spent several years with the program and has appeared briefly in backup situations.
Lagway completed the Auburn game despite the injury, throwing for 333 yards and two touchdowns. Baylor lost after a potential game-winning two-point conversion attempt came up short.
The injury is not expected to keep Lagway out for an extended period. If he does not play against Prairie View A&M, his next expected opportunity to return would come against Louisiana Tech in Week 3.
