The No. 22 Memphis Tigers are set to take on the Tulane Green Wave in a Friday night matchup kicking off at 9 p.m. EST. However, the status of quarterback Brendon Lewis remains uncertain as the game approaches.
Initial reports indicated that Lewis, 23, is a game-time decision due to an ankle injury, according to Pete Thamel of ESPN. This lingering injury originally occurred during the Tigers’ 31-24 Week 8 loss to the UAB Blazers.
“Sources: Memphis (8-1) quarterback Brendon Lewis is a game-time decision against Tulane (6-2) tonight (ESPN 9 PM). He’s dealing with a lingering ankle issue that knocked him out of the game that Memphis lost at UAB, the Tigers’ only loss this year,” Thamel reported.
As of 7:06 p.m. EST, Lewis was listed as questionable to play, a status that has not changed as the game time nears. Thamel later confirmed, “Memphis’ Brendon Lewis is officially listed as questionable tonight against Tulane. Game is at 9 p.m. on ESPN.”
On a positive note, redshirt senior Lewis was able to participate in warmups, according to Frank Bonner II of The Daily Memphian. While this doesn’t guarantee he will play, it suggests that Lewis is making an effort to be active for the Tigers.
“Memphis QB Brendon Lewis is on the field for warmups,” Bonner noted.
