McClendon to take over quarterback duties with Brewer in concussion protocol

By Adam Gibson | Sports Writer

With sophomore quarterback Charlie Brewer in concussion protocol, senior quarterback Jalan McClendon will take over the starting role for the time being.

Baylor’s concussion protocol management plan involves taking the injured player through five steps, including light exercise, non-contact training and unrestricted practice. The player must clear each step without their condition worsening. They must be symptom-free for 24 hours before returning to activities.

Baylor football traveled into Morgantown, W. Va., on Saturday looking to take out then-No. 13 West Virginia to gain back momentum for the rest of the season.
