Santos May Be Able to Play Saturday for SDSU

San Diego State quarterback Todd Santos may be able to play Saturday night at Texas El Paso.

Santos, participating with his broken right wrist taped, ran the first-string offense throughout Wednesday afternoon’s practice.

“If (the wrist) continues to feel better like it has this week, it looks really good for Saturday,” Santos said. “Every day, it feels a lot better.”

Santos was injured three weeks ago against New Mexico. He did not play the following week at Stanford. Santos resumed practicing this week.

“He’s progressing pretty well, I think,” Coach Denny Stolz said after practice. “He appeared to be much improved today.”

If Santos is unable to start at UTEP, he will be replaced again by Jim Plum.
