Navy quarterback Keenan Reynolds has been cleared to start Saturday’s game against Texas State, according to coach Ken Niumatalolo.
Reynolds suffered a knee injury against Temple last Saturday after he took a helmet to the knee. While Reynolds was hobbled, an MRI on Monday revealed no structural damage and Reynolds’ injury was determined to be a severe bruise.
Reynolds did not practice Monday and Niumatalolo said he wasn’t sure how much Reynolds would play leading up to Saturday’s game.
"We have to be smart and listen to the training staff. It's also up to Keenan and how he feels," Niumatalolo said. "We'll listen to our medical staff and listen to the kid and proceed with caution."
There is no doubt Reynolds, a budding Heisman hopeful, is the engine that makes Navy go. In his first two games this season, Reynolds has amassed 215 rushing yards and three touchdowns while adding 50 passing yards in Navy’s option-heavy offense. His 173 rushing yards against Temple were the third-most in his career trailing a pair of 200-yard performances against Hawaii and San Jose State last season.
