Baylor quarterback DJ Lagway sustained a right ankle injury during a game against Auburn. During the second quarter, Lagway was observed limping with heavily taped ankles before being helped to the locker room by teammates at halftime.

Subsequent reports confirmed the injury as a high-ankle sprain, occurring when Lagway landed awkwardly on his right foot. While head coach Dave Aranda initially described the player as day-to-day, Lagway is now expected to miss the Week 2 game against Prairie View A&M. Nate Bennett is slated to make his first career start while the team manages Lagway’s recovery ahead of upcoming Big 12 matchups.
