Lincoln Kienholz News, Rumors, Updates - Louisville Cardinals

Another strong day Kienholz was 17-for-25 passing for 182 yards and two touchdowns during Saturday's 44-17 victory against Georgia Tech. He also had nine rushes for 81 yards.

Impact Louisville rolled over hapless Georgia Tech, and Kienholz once again authored a very strong performance. He was held under 200 yards passing, but he protected the football, stressed the Yellow Jackets with his legs and scored multiple touchdowns yet again. Next up is a tougher matchup with North Carolina.

Efficiently carves up Stanford Kienholz completed 20 of 28 passes for 250 yards and two touchdowns during Saturday's 52-24 win over Stanford. He also had nine rushes for 62 yards with one touchdown.

Impact Kienholz got his efficiency back up in a surgical performance against Stanford. He's notched at least one rushing touchdown in every game this fall, although his 62 yards on the ground were his second-highest total this season. This was also the fifth time in eight games he's thrown two touchdowns. Louisville isn't quite having the season it envisioned, but the gunslinger remains extremely productive.

Iffy as a passer in win Kienholz was 14-for-26 passing for 310 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions during Saturday's 34-26 win versus Syracuse. He also had 10 rushes for 53 yards with two touchdown...

Impact Kienholz completed just over half his passes and threw two interceptions, but his two touchdowns on the ground helped salvage his day from a fantasy perspective. Kienholz has been mostly tremendous as a passer this season; Saturday's win against Syracuse looks more like an outlier, and he still surpassed 300 yards. He'll look to take better care of the football and increase his efficiency a touch after a bye in a favorable matchup at Stanford on Halloween.

Somewhat limited output in easy win Kienholz was 11-for-15 passing for 140 yards during Friday's 44-20 victory over Florida State. He also had nine rushes for 40 yards with two touchdowns.

Impact Kienholz has had a very solid season as the Cardinals' QB1, but he hardly needed to air it out Saturday as Louisville rolled over Florida State in a 24-point victory. Still, he was mightily efficient, and it's worth noting he's scored two rushing touchdowns in three of Louisville's six games. Kienholz remains highly productive and efficient for Louisville.

Louisville QB Lincoln Kienholz will play in must-win game against Florida State Louisville quarterback Lincoln Kienholz is good to go for Friday.

OCTOBER 8 • THEBIGLEAD.COM

Available Friday Kienholz (undisclosed) will play during Friday's matchup against Florida State, per Pete Nakos of On3.com.

Impact Kienholz was previously listed as probable after being upgraded from a game-time decision ahead of last week's contest against NC State, but he appears to be good to go against the Seminoles. The 6-foot-2 junior has thrown for 1,394 yards and nine touchdowns with one interception through five games while adding 158 yards and six scores on the ground as well.

OCTOBER 8 • ROTOWIRE

Probable for Week 6 Kienholtz (undisclosed) is listed as probable ahead of Friday's game against Florida State, per the ACC availability report.

Impact Kienholz is in line to suit up Friday and start under center. The quarterback's availability was in question prior to kickoff last week, but he took the field against North Carolina State and tossed for 254 yards and two touchdowns. The quarterback in his first season with Louisville has been solid through his first five games, throwing for 1,394 yards and nine touchdowns with just one interception while adding 158 yards on the ground with six scores.

OCTOBER 6 • ROTOWIRE

Another strong outing Kienholz was 21-for-30 passing for 254 yards and two touchdowns during Saturday's 31-28 defeat against North Carolina State. He also had seven rushes for 24 yards.

Impact Kienholz had another efficient, productive day even as Louisville dropped another game to fall to 2-3 on the young season. Regardless of the disappointing Cardinals this year, their quarterback has been quite productive and he'll look to keep it up against Florida State on Friday night.

OCTOBER 3 • Associated Press

Will start vs. NC State Kienholz (lower body) will be starting in Saturday's game against North Carolina State, Pete Nakos of On3.com reports.

Impact Kienholz was deemed a game-time decision as he worked through a lower body injury but will reportedly give it a go. The junior quarterback is apparently heavily taped up on both of his ankles for this matchup.

OCTOBER 3 • ROTOWIRE

Warming up early Saturday Kienholz (lower body) is out warming up ahead of Saturday's game at North Carolina State after being listed as a game-time decision, Michael McCammon reports.

Impact Kienholz's presence in warmups is a positive sign, but it does not officially settle his availability. Louisville's starting quarterback is still likely a game-time call, and there should be more information ahead of kickoff.

OCTOBER 3 • ROTOWIRE

Will be game-time decision for Week 5 Kienholz (lower body) will be a game-time decision for Saturday's game at North Carolina State, Pete Thamel of ESPN reports.

Impact If the ACC injury report cannot clear Kienholz, pregame warmups will determine his availability against North Carolina State. He led the Cardinals to the promised land in an upset win over SMU and held Mississippi close back in Week 1, giving the 2026 Cards a promising quarterback they will want available in their conference schedule's first away game.

OCTOBER 3 • ROTOWIRE

Likely game-time decision for Week 5 Kienholz (lower body) is likely a game-time decision for Saturday's game at North Carolina State, Pete Nakos of On3.com.

Impact Previously undisclosed, Kienholz's injury is a lower-body problem that he first suffered back in Week 4 against Wake Forest. The issue has limited him throughout this week, hence why it looks like Louisville's team will give him until Saturday to see if he can go. If he cannot, the Cardinals are expected to start either Davin Wydner or Briggs Cherry, though there is no clear-cut answer just yet as to who their QB2 is going into Week 5.

OCTOBER 2 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Week 5 Kienholz (undisclosed) is listed as questionable ahead of Saturday's matchup against NC State.

Impact Kienholz is in jeopardy of missing his first game of the campaign with an undisclosed injury as Saturday's game approaches. The quarterback has 1,140 passing yards, 134 rushing yards and 13 total touchdowns in four games this season.

SEPTEMBER 29 • Associated Press

Will be game-time decision Louisville's head coach Jeff Brohm announced that Kienholz (undisclosed) will be a game-time decision Saturday at North Carolina State, Matt McGavic of Sports Illustrated reports.

Impact Brohm announced that Kienholz has some kind of problem affecting him but did not exactly disclose the issue. The development comes after he logged a 1-1 TD-INT ratio in Week 4 against Wake Forest, but he still impressed with 27 completions for 324 yards and two rushing TDs. That may have been Kienholz's worst game of September, indicating just how good a quarterback the Cardinals would be missing if he cannot go against North Carolina State.

Stays hot in win Kienholz was 14-for-23 passing for 177 yards and two touchdowns during Saturday's 41-31 victory against Southern Methodist. He also had 12 rushes for 42 yards with one touchdown.

Impact Kienholz threw for under 200 yards in the win over SMU, but he didn't need to rack up yards as the Cardinals' ground game had its way with the Mustangs. The quarterback once again scored a rushing touchdown -- he has at least one in every game this season -- and tossed for another two touchdowns just like he did in Weeks 1 and 2. Keinholz has been efficient and productive in his first three games as a starter.
