Matt Rhule updates status of Brewer, Malin following injuries
Baylor head coach Matt Rhule told the media on Monday morning during the Big 12 Football Teleconference that sophomore quarterback Charlie Brewer sustained a back injury against Abilene Christian, but after evaluation is expected to practice fully and play against UTSA on Saturday.
Rhule also provided an update on senior offensive lineman Josh Malin who was injured on the second play from scrimmage in the season opener. According to Rhule, Malin has an MCL injury and is expected to miss four weeks in recovery at minimum.
The good news for Malin, however, is that the injury was not season ending.
Brewer received the start against Abilene Christian and completed 8 of 15 passes for 138 yards and an interception while rotating with senior Jalan McClendon. The two are again expected to split snaps against UTSA on Saturday according to Rhule.
Malin started at left tackle for the Bears against ACU.
