CINCINNATI (AP) – Gunner Kiel hurt his ribs on the last play of the first half and went for X-rays, leaving him questionable to return against Memphis.
The Bearcats quarterback was hit on his lower right side by linebacker Tank Jakes as he threw a desperation pass. The pass fell incomplete, and Kiel lay on his back for several minutes while doctors checked him. He walked off slowly, favoring the right side.
Kiel threw an 80-yard touchdown pass – his 15th in four games – on the opening play, then had a tough time as the Tigers pulled ahead 27-7 at halftime. Kiel was 11 of 27 for 216 yards with an interception and a fumble.
