Greene Remains Day-to-Day Ahead of TCU
Monday afternoon, West Virginia University football head coach Neal Brown provided an injury update on starting quarterback Garrett Greene. The redshirt junior left the game against Pitt in week three with an ankle injury and has not returned to the field.
Brown confirmed Monday Greene was available in an "emergency situation" in the win over Texas Tech on Saturday.
"He was available on Saturday, but he did not warm up very well, and he would have been emergency ready, but we would have had to help him out," Brown said.

Greene's availability for the Mountaineers' Big 12 Conference road-opener versus TCU this Saturday night will be determined over the next two days.
"I don't really want to play him until he's fully healthy," Brown said. "He worked with our trainers today, we'll see what he has Tuesday and Wednesday. If he can practice full go on Tuesday and Wednesday, then he'll play, if he can't, it will probably be the same."
Redshirt freshman Nicco Marchiol started in place for Green on Saturday in the 20-13 win over Texas Tech. He was 12-21 for 78 yards and a touchdown but also had two interceptions, although one pick deflected off the hands of a receiver.
Kickoff for the primetime matchup between West Virginia and TCU is slated for 8:00 p.m. EST and the action will broadcast on ESPN2.
