SMU QB Kevin Jennings limited in practice by jammed finger, but no concerns about season opener

SMU quarterback Kevin Jennings is limited in fall practice due to a jammed finger in his throwing hand. The injury occurred when he slammed it in a locker room door. However, there is no worry about Jennings' readiness for the season opener against Florida State on September 7th. Coach Rhett Lashlee stated that the injury is "just a really bad jam" with no long-term effects.

Jennings has an impressive track record, including 7,709 yards and 55 touchdowns in 39 games. The university is honoring him with a "K7NG OF DALLAS" campaign and plans to name a recovery center after him. Redshirt freshman Ty Hawkins is stepping up as the first-team quarterback during the preparation period.
