STILLWATER (AP) � Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy says it�s not an option to shut down starting tailback Kendall Hunter for the season due to a lingering injury.
Hunter had missed the Cowboys� last five games before he had one carry for 1 yard in Saturday night�s 41-14 loss to Texas.
�Kendall doesn�t want to do that. Kendall wants to play,� Gundy said Sunday. �He�s continued to get a little better each week and he�s practiced, that hasn�t changed. Hopefully he�ll be in less pain this week.
�I don�t think that he�ll play at any time this season without feeling some sort of pain in that foot. That�s just my guess. Hopefully it�ll lessen as it progresses.�
Hunter�s injury has been described as a sprained right ankle. He led the Big 12 in rushing last season with 1,555 yards but has played only one full game this season.
The 18th-ranked Cowboys (6-2, 3-1 Big 12) play at Iowa State on Saturday afternoon.
