Bears starting QB Jarrett Stidham’s status has been up in the air all week after suffering a back injury early in last weeks battle vs. Oklahoma. Briles confirmed to ESPN reporter David Smoak on Thursday evening that Stidham will in fact play this weekend in Stillwater. Whether he will be limited is yet to be seen, but it’s safe to assume he’s headed into Saturday with a few bumps and bruises.
#Baylor's Art Briles was concerned about the progress of @Jarrett_Stidham on Wednesday, but I just received this text, "he's playing."
