Overview
- Baylor coach Erik Kimrey told the Chattanooga Times Free Press that Marshall Manning has a foot injury and will be out “a few weeks,” a status first reported Friday.
- Manning, a freshman and son of Peyton Manning, made a two-snap varsity debut on Aug. 20 that was televised on ESPN2 and included an eight-yard completion to Antwaun Adams.
- Kimrey had planned to insert Manning for limited reps in every game this season to build experience ahead of a future starting role.
- Keegan Croucher remains Baylor’s starting quarterback and will continue to handle game duties while Manning recovers.
- Manning will miss near-term games including Week 2 versus Loudoun Sports Academy and has no public return date, which temporarily slows the team’s planned development timetable for the freshman.
