Petty, the sixth-ranked Bears’ star senior quarterback, suffered a concussion during the third quarter of last weekend’s win over Texas Tech. BU coach Art Briles said Thursday that he passed initial concussion tests but needed to be further evaluated, leaving his status for this weekend unknown.
Now, according to the Waco Tribune’s John Werner, Petty has been cleared to play in the regular season finale.
Baylor quarterback Bryce Petty has officially been cleared to play against Kansas State after suffering mild concussion last week.
— John Werner (@JohnWernerTrib) December 5, 2014 At 10-1, Baylor’s hopes of winning the Big 12 and landing a spot in the College Football Playoff are on the line against the Wildcats, so Petty’s presence is huge for the high-powered Bears’ offense.
In 10 games this season, Petty has thrown for 2,893 yards, 25 touchdowns and five interceptions.
