Dickey suffered a sprained ankle during Saturday's game at Colorado and his return timeline is unclear, though he did not sustain a season-ending injury, Pete Nakos of On3 reports.
Analysis:Dickey's high ankle sprain explains why he only logged four carries Saturday at Colorado. If he is out long-term, that means more of Texas Tech's backfield rushes will go to his backups, like J'Koby Williams and Quinten Joyner. Even though Dickey's injury is not season-ending, him being out long-term could cause a huge dent in Texas Tech's offense, as last year's and this year's Red Raiders heavily relied on his running. For 2026, Dickey already has five touchdowns in as many games, combined with 57 rushing attempts for 242 yards.
