Impact Swint is in line to return to the field after a two-game absence.

His return will bolster depth in the Knights' ground game alongside Duke Watson and Landen Chambers.

Keyone Jenkins - Question mark to play versus Kansas Jenkins (ankle) holds a questionable designation for Saturday's contest versus Kansas, per the Big 12 availability report.

Impact Jenkins could suit up Saturday even though he is not expected to start at quarterback for UCF, with Alonza Barnett positioned to take over under center. The signal-caller exited last week's contest against Baylor after suffering an ankle injury. Jenkins was the starter during Barnett's previous absence, but if he is unavailable Saturday, all signs point to Barnett handling starting duties against Kansas.

Unbeaten Utah Hosts BYU In A Holy War That Could Shape The Big 12 Title Race

Keyone Jenkins - Not expected to start in Week 10 Jenkins (ankle) isn't expected to start against Kansas in Week 10, per Chris Boyle of The Daytona Beach News-Journal.

Impact Jenkins was knocked out of the rough loss to Baylor with an ankle injury, and he's reportedly not expected to be at full speed this week if he's even available at all. Thus, it's trending towards Alonza Barnett notching the start for the Knights against Kansas in Week 10.

Alonza Barnett III - Trending towards starting Barnett is trending towards starting at Kansas in Week 10, per Chris Boyle of The Daytona Beach News-Journal.

Impact Barnett replaced a struggling and injured Keyone Jenkins (ankle) in UCF's loss to Baylor in Week 9, tossing for 133 yards on 8-of-16 completion. He's now got the inside track to start for the Knights against the Jayhawks, as Jenkins isn't expected to be at full speed this week if he's even available at all.

Josh Derry - 70 yards in loss Derry gathered in 3 of 7 targets for 70 yards during Friday's 41-9 defeat to Baylor.

Impact Derry had two different quarterbacks throwing him the ball Saturday, though he still managed a decent outing thanks to his 67-yard reception in the third quarter. He now has 27 catches for 309 yards and three touchdowns across the last four games, with most of that production coming with Keyone Jenkins (ankle) under center. With Jenkins' status now up in the air, Derry may have Alonza Barnett under center for Saturday's game at Kansas which could affect his volume.

Duke Watson - Shut down Saturday Watson recorded seven carries for 20 yards and caught 1 of 2 targets for three yards during Friday's 41-9 loss to Baylor.

Impact Watson only had eight touches in Saturday's blowout loss, his fewest since the season opener. The game got out of hand quickly so the Knights abandoned the run game, though Watson wasn't particularly effective with his limited touches anyway. He'll look to bounce back Saturday at Kansas.

Keyone Jenkins - Benched after quiet outing Jenkins (ankle) was 14-for-21 passing for 82 yards and one interception during Friday's 41-9 loss to Baylor.

Impact Jenkins was taken out of the game in favor of Alonza Barnett in the third quarter, though it's unclear if it was related to his play or his nagging ankle injury. He was ineffective in the first half, only throwing for 82 yards and one interception, but he was coming off his excellent win over BYU the week before. It's now unclear who will start Saturday at Kansas, especially considering Barnett did not light it up once he entered the game.

Keyone Jenkins - Exits game Friday Jenkins was forced to exit Friday's game against Baylor due to a lower body injury, Andrew Cherico of 247Sports reports.

Impact Jenkins took a hard hit during a third down play and seemed to be favoring his lower body but his return is yet to be determined. Prior to his exit, the 6-foot quarterback completed 14 of 21 passes for 82 yards. Alonza Barnett has entered the game under center.

Alonza Barnett III - Game-time decision for Friday Barnett (undisclosed) is a game-time decision for Friday's game versus Baylor, per the Big 12 availability report.

Impact Barnett was a question mark all week, and his availability isn't any clearer after the Knights' final injury report. However, Keyone Jenkins will start for UCF against Baylor, so Barnett's status won't matter unless UCF needs to go deeper into its quarterback room.

OCTOBER 30 • ROTOWIRE

Duane Thomas Jr. - Good to go for Friday Thomas (undisclosed) will play in Friday's game versus Baylor, per the Big 12 availability report.

Impact Thomas was previously listed as probable, and indeed, the wideout will suit up for UCF against Baylor on Friday night. He saw his first action of the season last week, with three catches for 16 yards in the huge upset over BYU.
