Baylor QB Marshall Manning, son of Peyton Manning, out 'a few weeks' with injury

Baylor freshman quarterback Marshall Manning, son of former NFL and Tennessee football great Peyton Manning, will miss the Red Raiders Week 2 game against Loudoun Sports Academy (Virginia) on Aug. 28, according to the Chattanooga Times Free Press.

Manning suffered a foot injury and will "be out a few weeks", Baylor coach Erik Kimrey told The Times Free Press' Stephen Hargis.

Manning saw brief action in Baylor's season opener against Brentwood Academy on Aug. 20, a game televised by ESPN2. He came in for the Red Raiders' four-star quarterback, and Ole Miss commit, Keegan Croucher.

Manning completed an eight-yard pass to Antwaun Adams toward the Brentwood Academy sideline and then handed the ball off to David Gabriel Georges before Croucher returned to the game. Baylor beat BA, 38-20.

The Red Raiders won't face another in-state opponent until it takes on Division II-AAA opponent CPA on Sept. 18. Baylor travels to Rabun Gap-Nacoochee (Georgia) on Sept. 4 and then goes to Louisville, Kentucky face Trinity on Sept. 18.
