University of New Mexico redshirt freshman quarterback Isaiah Chavez appears set to make his second straight start of the season against winless UNLV for the Lobos’ homecoming game on Saturday.
But Wednesday’s practice will provide more clarity as senior quarterback Terry Wilson continues to recover from a dislocated elbow on his left, non-throwing arm that he sustained in a 31-7 loss against San Diego State on Oct. 9.
The typical recovery time for a dislocated elbow is 3-6 weeks, so Wilson is in that window, but he has not yet been cleared for practice.
“If he can’t go, it’ll be Isaiah,” UNM coach Danny Gonzales said at his press conference on Tuesday.
