Baylor quarterback Jarrett Stidham is questionable for Saturday’s game against Oklahoma State while still recovering from a back injury he suffered in last week’s loss to Oklahoma.
The injury occurred during the first half of the game, but Stidham did play through it and finished the contest. It was clear, however, he was in tremendous pain every time he was hit by the Oklahoma defense.
“Honestly, not as far along as what I’d like for him to be,” head coach Art Briles said Wednesday. “We’ll see in the next day or two.”
Briles did note Monday that Stidham did not have any structural damage and that he would be able to play. Stidham also said he'd be ready to play against the Cowboys.
Stidham has started the last two games after former starter Seth Russell was lost for the season with broken bones in his neck. If he can’t go, the Bears will turn to Chris Johnson, who was moved to wide receiver during fall camp and then back to quarterback when Russell was injured.
