Texas Tech quarterback Alan Bowman has been released from the hospital and is expected to rejoin the Red Raiders on Thursday, coach Kliff Kingsbury announced Wednesday.

Bowman, who started Texas Tech's three wins this season, sustained a partially collapsed lung after being sandwiched by two defenders in the first half of a 42-34 loss to West Virginia on Saturday. Bowman was admitted to Covenant Medical Center in Lubbock, Texas, after he left the game, where he remained for observation.

"Alan Bowman was released from Covenant Medical Center earlier this afternoon and will rejoin our team activities tomorrow [Thursday]," Kingsbury said in a statement.

So there’s a chance he plays next week? I guess a collapsed lung is less severe than it sounds.

There are multiple ways to sustain a pneumothorax (collapsed lung). Depending on the type and severity, it can be fatal or something you can basically walk off.

I just assumed that something that puts you in the hospital for 5 days doesn’t allow you to resume practicing on the 6th day. Glad he’s OK!

If it was from a broken rib, I doubt he could play again this quickly. Either way, there has to be some bruising of the lung tissue, which would limit his pulmonary reserves...won't be 100%.

I think his bronchial tubes may be blocked by the bile in his areoli. He will likely get an angioplasty and the MRI could show a colorectal resection.

Do you concur?

This is what happens when patients see a nurse practitioner instead of a doctor.

Wait...so his nipples turned green?!

Glad the kid is doing good. But, I bet his butthole will be puckered after Thursday.

I can attest to this. So true.
