It was discovered on Monday that Bryce Petty, Baylor’s Heisman candidate quarterback, suffered two cracks in his spine during Sunday’s game against SMU. Petty would go on to play after the injury and Baylor would win the game, 45-0.
Source tells @FoxSports that the injury Bryce Petty suffered–2 cracked transfer processes in his back–is something that heals on its own.
