TCU football injury report: Horned Frogs won’t have star defender at Houston

TCU will be without preseason All-Big 12 safety Bud Clark when the Horned Frogs make the trip to No. 25 Houston at 3 p.m. Saturday, according to the latest player availability report.

It’s a massive loss for TCU’s defense, as the senior is tied for the team lead with four interceptions and five passes defended this season. The Horned Frogs will likely start sophomore Jordan Lester in his place.

TCU will also be without leading rusher Kevorian Barnes and possibly second-leading rusher Trent Battle, who is listed as questionable, along with starting left guard Cade Bennett.

Here is the rest of the player availability report:
