Baylor QB Seth Russell fractures bone in neck, "unsure" for Kansas State image

Things aren't looking good for Baylor quarterback Seth Russell. 

In his postgame press conference, head coach Art Briles said Russell strained his neck during a play against Iowa State, but that diagnosis has been downgraded.

Luckily Baylor has a bye week before heading to Kansas State on Nov. 5, but Briles said he is "unsure" if his quarterback would be available by then.

Russell injured his neck on a 4-yard run in the fourth quarter and was replaced by backup quarterback Jarrett Stidham when the game was all but sealed.
