West Virginia football's Garrett Greene set to return to action vs. Baylor

11/16/2024 10:09 AM

Ahead of West Virginia football’s Week 12 matchup against Baylor, the Mountaineers received a positive injury update on quarterback Garrett Greene, per ESPN’s Pete Thamel.

“Greene will return for West Virginia, and start against Baylor on Saturday. He's missed the last two games with an undisclosed injury and was only available in an emergency role last week. He's practiced all week for WVU.”

Greene has missed the last two games due to an upper body injury suffered in Week 8. Sophomore backup Nicco Marchiol has stepped in at starting quarterback for West Virginia, and has played well in Greene’s absence. He completed 27 of his 37 pass attempts for 354 yards and three touchdowns in victories over Arizona and Cincinnati.

While Greene is getting the nod against Baylor on Saturday, there’s going to be little room for error in his first game back. The Mountaineers are 5-4, and have a legitimate chance at a bowl appearance. They are also 4-2 in the Big 12, so wins against Baylor, and then Texas Tech in the final regular season matchup on November 30 would go a long way.
