PROVO — Injured BYU quarterback Tanner Mangum’s status for Friday’s game at Utah State remains uncertain, but offensive coordinator Ty Detmer said Mangum is gradually improving.

Mangum, who suffered an injury to his lower left leg against Utah on Sept. 9, is no longer getting around on a scooter.

“Tanner’s made some good progress. When he’s ready to go, he’ll get more work,” Detmer said. “Right now, it’s having him ease back until we know he’s back and 100 percent. That’s not my call, that’s the trainer’s call. Until then, we’ll get whoever’s going to play ready to play.
