What does Texas Tech football's injury report look like for Houston game? - Lubbock Avalanche-Journal

Texas Tech safety Brenden Jordan returns Friday night at Galaxy Stadium against Houston after serving a two-game suspension for a violation of team rules. Head coach Joey McGuire sounds upbeat about the Red Raiders having more options on the field for the matchup.

Head coach Joey McGuire sounds upbeat about the Red Raiders having more options on the field for the matchup. Jordan's absence left a hole in the secondary, and getting him back gives Tech a boost heading into a short week of preparation.

Two other starters remain in question. McGuire says their status depends on how practice goes over the next few days, a tighter timeline than a normal game week. That short turnaround puts extra pressure on the training staff to get answers fast.

For Tech fans around Lubbock, the injury report matters as much as any scouting report this week. Whether the two banged-up starters suit up could shape how much Tech can throw at a Houston offense on the road.

McGuire didn't name the two starters still working through injuries, so their game status stays a mystery until closer to kickoff.
