San Diego State starting quarterback Jayden Denegal was listed as questionable Wednesday night on the initial Pac-12 availability report for Saturday afternoon\u2019s game at Colorado State.<\/p>\n
Questionable is one of four categories on the availability report and equates to a 50\/50 chance of playing. SDSU coach Sean Lewis said after Wednesday morning\u2019s practice that \u201cit will be a true game-time decision\u201d on whether Denegal plays against the Rams.<\/p>\n
Denegal was injured in the second quarter of last weekend\u2019s win over Fresno State. He limped off the field with an apparent right knee injury and was replaced by backup quarterback Stone Saunders. All first-team reps in practice Tuesday and Wednesday were taken by Saunders while Denegal watched from the sideline.<\/p>\n
Denegal is not wearing a knee brace in practice, but has continued to limp and move gingerly.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe is limited,\u201d Lewis said.<\/p>\n
Saunders was listed as questionable on last week\u2019s initial availability report. The redshirt freshman was listed probable on Wednesday night\u2019s report.<\/p>\n
Lewis said he would expect \u201cthe presnap mechanics will be cleaner\u201d for Saunders if he were to make his first career start.<\/p>\n
Saunders fumbled his first snap last weekend, then went on to complete 6 of 11 passes for 61 yards, guiding two fourth-quarter scoring drives in a 26-23 comeback win.<\/p>\n
\u201cI thought his decision-making was pretty decisive,\u201d Lewis said, \u201cso I would like that to grow and develop. I\u2019d like to see ball placement continue to grow and relationship with receivers will get better as we go as well.\u201d<\/p>\n
Four starters on the offensive line were listed as questionable \u2014 left tackle Joe Borjon, left guard Kalan Ellis, center Isaac Lucas and right guard Mikey Watkins.<\/p>\n
Running backs Lucky Sutton and Javion Kinnard also were also listed as questionable, along with starting linebacker Tano Letuli, edge Kai Wallin and defensive tackle Malachi Finau.<\/p>\n
Colorado State listed three dozen players on its initial availability report, although the status category was not included for any of the Rams\u2019 players.<\/p>\n
The availability report is posted nightly in the three days leading up to a game. A final report is posted two hours before kickoff.<\/p>\n
