MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — Skyler Howard’s late-game touchdown run against Texas also left the West Virginia quarterback with a sore right wrist that continues to receive treatment.
The injury to his throwing hand sported an ice-wrap after Saturday’s 38-20 victory and remained wrapped during Tuesday’s media session.
“It’s getting better,” Howard said, suggesting he’ll be ready to make his 12th consecutive start this week against winless Kansas (0-10, 0-7). “Right now I can still grip a football, so we’re good.”
The injury occurred with 3:40 remaining against Texas when Howard surged across for a 2-yard score.
