DJ Lagway will miss Baylor's Week 2 game against Prairie View A&M with a high-ankle sprain suffered against Auburn, Pete Thamel reported. Nate Bennett is set to make the first start of his college career.
Lagway stayed in Baylor's 17-16 defeat after the injury. He finished 27 of 54 passing for 333 yards, two touchdowns and one interception. Coach Dave Aranda had called Lagway day to day earlier in the week, while On3 reported that he had been trying to play through the injury but was considered doubtful for the game.
Baylor's loss to Auburn dropped the Bears to 0-1. The team reached the end zone in the closing seconds but missed a two-point conversion that would have produced a victory. The source said it was unclear whether Lagway's condition influenced that decision.
Baylor is scheduled to host Louisiana Tech next weekend and open Big 12 play against Colorado on Sept. 26. No additional recovery timetable for Lagway was provided.
