BYU receiver out with hamstring strain

PROVO, Utah — BYU receiver McKay Jacobson is out four to six weeks with a strained hamstring.

Coach Bronco Mendenhall said Monday that Jacobson strained the left hamstring while stretching before the 18th-ranked Cougars’ win over Utah State on Friday.

Mendenhall says an MRI showed the strain high up on the muscle and the injury could take a while to heal.

Jacobson had 11 catches for 280 yards and three touchdown in BYU’s first four games.
