Baylor head football coach Matt Rhule is in no rush to bring injured sophomore safeties Henry Black and Rajah Preciado back onto the field.

For Rhule, it provides an opportunity for others, most notably walk-ons, to get legitimate minutes.

“We’re being very cautious with Henry [Black] and Rajah [Preciado],” Rhule said. “I’d probably say another week to two weeks to three weeks. We have some wonderful non-scholarship safeties.”

Black and Preciado are not the only hobbled players among the Baylor secondary, Rhule said. Senior starting safety Davion Hall might miss the first game of the season due to an undisclosed injury.
