Texas Tech coach Kliff Kingsbury isn't sure if Jakeem Grant will play Saturday, but he is hopeful.

Grant, a Texas Tech wide receiver, was injured during an off-campus incident early Sunday morning at El Fronteriso, in the 12000 block of U.S. 87 in Lubbock County.

"(We are) Going to take a look at him (Grant) today, but I'm hoping (he can play)," Kingsbury said, adding that he believes Grant received stitches in the "chin area."

At Tech's Monday press conference, Kingsbury said he had not heard much about the incident, but he has spoken with Grant briefly.

"I was mainly concerned about Jakeem and that he's OK," the Texas Tech football coach said. "The authorities are handling that (investigation) side of it."

More than 20 rounds were fired from multiple weapons during an altercation about 1:30 a.m. Sunday, said Lt. Bryan Taylor, a Lubbock County Sheriff's Office spokesperson.

"Tech has confirmed that it was one of their football players, but his involvement, I don't know," Taylor said. "I don't know if he was involved in the altercation or if he just caught part of the assault. It's my understanding that he had a laceration, so it may have been a knife wound. ... Anytime you have that many shots fired, people are going to scatter. I don't know what caused his laceration."

The wide receiver was sent to the hospital, but was released Sunday and is "doing well," according to university spokesman Blayne Beal.

"If somebody had a laceration, then the obvious thing is that somebody got cut, but during a melee like that, there's no telling what cut him," Taylor said.

Texas Tech officials are aware of the incident and are gathering information. Beal is not aware of how it will affect Grant's role with the team or if he suffered an injury that will sideline him for any length of time. Kingsbuy said he is not sure if Grant was involved with the indicent and that was up to authorities to determine.

Grant is Tech's leading receiver with 50 catches for 629 yards and five touchdowns. Grant caught six passes for 72 yards in the Red Raiders' 31-24 win over Kansas on Saturday.

Taylor said a second person was also injured, but the injuries were not considered to be life-threatening. No one has been arrested in connection with the incident, Taylor said.

"We've got some description, but right now we're guessing we have multiple suspects," he said. "I'll kind of have to compile everything. We had multiple investigators at the scene."

Officials are still investigating and an incident report is expected to be released Monday.
