Kansas football has had tough luck with injuries at the quarterback position in 2023, but it seems that the Jayhawks finally got good news on the injury front.

 

Senior quarterback Jason Bean is working towards playing against Kansas State in the Sunflower Showdown on Saturday. Bean has been the KU starting quarterback for six consecutive weeks following the injury to Jalon Daniels.

 

Bean exited the loss to Texas Tech in the second quarter with a head injury. Head coach Lance Leipold says, however, that he is encouraged by the progress he has made.

 

The Kansas quarterback returned to practice yesterday, and will be a game time decision on Saturday. Freshman walk-on Cole Ballard, the son of Indianapolis Colts general manager Chris Ballard, would make his first career start if Bean can't go.
