Isaiah Glasker listed as “OUT” in latest BYU-Baylor availability report
Glasker was shaken up on the first defensive snap against rival Utah last week with what appeared to be an upper-body injury. After two missed snaps, he returned to action against the Utes, but had an up-and-down performance.
This will be the third game this season that Glasker has missed.
When asked earlier this week about Glasker, BYU head coach Kalani Sitake said the senior linebacker “should be fine” but added that “they might have to test their depth” against Baylor.
Glasker started the week at “Questionable,” then was elevated to “Probable,” which indicates a 75% chance of playing, then on Friday was ruled as “OUT.”
Also “OUT” this week for BYU are starting cornerback Evan Johnson and tight end Roger Saleapaga II. It’s the third consecutive week Johnson will miss, while it’s Saleapaga’s second consecutive missed game.
Tight end Will Zundel and wide receiver Kila Keone are also OUT for BYU.
