Throws two TDs in return Lagway was 19-for-39 passing for 221 yards, two touchdowns and one interception during Saturday's 23-13 win versus Colorado.

Impact Lagway made his return to the field Saturday after missing the previous two games with an ankle injury. He was definitely not at his best as he completed under 50 percent of his passes, but he did enough to secure the win, including two scoring drives in the fourth quarter. Next up is the first conference road game of the season, at Arizona State on Saturday.

Available for Week 4 Lagway (ankle) is available for Saturday's game against Colorado, Zach Smith of the Waco Tribune reports.

Impact Lagway can return following a two-game absence caused by an injured ankle, and he will look to help Baylor's team begin its conference schedule strong. Back in 2025, he completed 160 passes for 1,754 yards and nine touchdowns across SEC matchups. Lagway will look to prove that he has cleaned up his turnover rate (9-12 TD-INT ratio last season) and efficiency for a Baylor team expecting him to break out of his previous funk.

Expected to be available Week 4 Lagway (ankle) is expected to be available for Saturday's game against Colorado, Pete Nakos of On3.com reports.

Impact After a two-game absence, Week 4 is projected to mark Lagway's return from an ankle injury. The junior will have little leeway in his return, as he and Baylor will prepare to begin their 2026 season's conference schedule. On the plus side, Lagway's only game this season saw him face Power Conference team Auburn and showcase some of his talent by completing 27 passes for 333 yards and one touchdown. Ideally for him, he can clean up his completion percentage and turnover rate (50.0 percent and two TOs respectively) as the campaign progresses.

Officially listed as probable Lagway (ankle) is probable for Saturday's game against Colorado, per the Big 12 availability report.

Impact Lagway's probable tag makes sense after an earlier report mentioned that he was given the "green light" to return against Colorado. Nate Bennett served as the starter in his absence but will return to the backup role. Lagway was impressive in his only appearance of the season during the opener, tossing two touchdowns despite dealing with an ankle injury.

Given "green light" to return in Week 4 Lagway (ankle) has been given the "green light" to return to aciton in Week 4 against Colorado, per Scott Procter of DNVR Sports.

Impact It's unclear exactly what Lagway getting the "green light" means for his availability, but it's certainly a positive update as the gunslinger looks to return to action. It could mean the quarterback is cleared to play, but it's all about how his ankle responds in practice. Either way, the Bears' QB1 is trending towards making a return, which would send Nate Bennett back to the bench.

SEPTEMBER 19 • Associated Press

Officially out Saturday Lagway (ankle) is out for Saturday's game against Louisiana Tech, per Zach Smith of the Waco Tribune.

Impact Lagway was expected to miss Saturday's contest and it's now official that he won't suit up against Louisiana Tech. The quarterback will continue to recover and is expected to return against Colorado next Saturday. He battled the injury against Auburn in the season opener, where he tossed for 333 yards and two touchdowns along with one interception.

Impact Lagway has been downgraded to doubtful for Saturday's matchup against Louisiana Tech, but appears to be on track to return against the Buffaloes. The 6-foot-3 signal caller will hope to continue working through his recovery in the event of his confirmed absence against LA Tech to make himself available against Colorado.

SEPTEMBER 17 • ROTOWIRE

Doubtful Saturday Lagway (ankle) is doubtful to play in Saturday's contest against Louisiana Tech, per Pete Thamel of ESPN.com.

Impact Lagway was previously thought to be questionable for Saturday's contest after missing Baylor's previous contest against Praire View A&M due to an ankle injury, but it appears he has suffered a setback with his issue. The 6-foot-3 quarterback had a solid statistical day in Baylor's season opener against Auburn, throwing for 333 yards and a pair of touchdowns to go along with an interception. If he is unable to give it a go, Nate Bennett would likely be in line to make his second straight start following a productive outing against Prairie View.

SEPTEMBER 17 • ROTOWIRE

Remains under evaluation Lagway (ankle) is still being evaluated for his injury, Zach Smith of the Waco Tribune reports.

Impact Baylor head coach Dave Aranda said Monday that the quarterback will be evaluated further after practice and again Tuesday. Lagway's status for Baylor's next game remains unsettled, with no return timeline offered yet. The quarterback's participation over the next two evaluation points should help clarify whether he can get back under center soon.

Not playing Saturday Lagway (ankle) will not play in Saturday's game against Prairie View A&M, Madison Palumbo of KCEN News reports.

Impact Lagway will miss his first game with Baylor after suffering an ankle injury in the season-opener. He will aim to be back for next week's contest against Louisiana Tech. Nate Bennett is expected to take over under center.

SEPTEMBER 11 • THEBIGLEAD.COM

Doubtful for Week 2 Lagway (ankle) is viewed as doubtful for Saturday's game versus Prairie View A&M, Pete Nakos of On3.com reports.

Impact Lagway is reportedly dealing with a high-ankle sprain and has attempted to battle through it, but the team has little incentive to run him out against an FCS opponent. It would be a bit surprising if Lagway were to suit up in the contest as a result, leaving the door open for one of Nate Bennett, Edward Griffin and Quinn Murphy to draw a look under center.
