In taking down Oklahoma State, Baylor lost its starting quarterback.

Injury-riddled Jarrett Stidham was hurt midway through the Bears 45-35 win over the Sooners following a hard hit along the sideline. After limping to the locker room at halftime, he didn't return to the game and was replaced by third-string quarterback Chris Johnson.

At the time, it was assumed Stidham re-injured his back after starting the game with the injury suffered against Oklahoma. But following the game, head coach Art Briles said it wasn't his back.

Instead, the true freshman hurt his ankle and hand, and his status for Friday's finale against TCU is up in the air.

"Honestly, he's not very good," Briles told reporters. "We're going to have to hustle to see where he's able to go for next week."

The severity of Stidham's hand injury is of particular concern because it's not the first time the appendage has been injured.

In 2014, as a high schooler, Stidham underwent surgery to repair multiple fractures in his throwing hand.

Upon being lifted from the game, Stidham was 12-of-21 for 258 yards and a touchdown, enough to build a 24-14 halftime lead.

In his absence, Johnson stepped up with 138 yards and two touchdowns.
