Baylor released its depth chart for its season opener Monday, and noticeably absent was all-conference safety Chance Waz.

The intrigue behind the absence didn't last long, as head coach Jim Grobe told reporters shortly afterward that Waz would miss the first two games of the season due to discipline issues with the university. No further reason was given for the decision.

Even without the standout safety, the Bears shouldn't have much trouble with their first two opponents. The program opens with home contests against Northwestern State and SMU - games they'll be heavily favored in.
