With two weeks left in the UFL regular season, the San Antonio Brahmas are getting back a key piece of their offense for a final postseason push.
Quarterback Chase Garbers was in the conversation for UFL MVP honors early in the season before suffering a wrist injury in Week 3 that sent him to IR. However, after missing five games, Garbers has been activated and is available to play when San Antonio hosts the undefeated Birmingham Stallions on Saturday (3 p.m. ET).
Garbers completed 70.8% of his passes for 586 yards and six touchdowns with just one interception in three games for San Antonio before his injury. In his place, Quinten Dormady has completed 60% of his passes for 976 yards and five touchdowns, with six interceptions.
San Antonio head coach Wade Phillips said both will play this weekend. “He’s practicing this week, and we’ll see where he is,” he said about Garbers. “I do expect him to play, but I also expect Quinten to play, too.”
The Stallions (8-0) can clinch the No. 1 seed and home-field advantage in the USFL Conference title game with a win or a loss by the Michigan Panthers (6-2). If the Brahmas win, they’ll clinch a home playoff game in the XFL Conference final.
Alternatively, the St. Louis Battlehawks (6-2) can clinch home-field advantage in the XFL Conference with a win over the Arlington Renegades (1-7) and a loss by San Antonio. The Battlehawks face the Renegades earlier Saturday at noon ET.
In Sunday’s doubleheader on FOX, the Memphis Showboats (1-7) host the D.C. Defenders (3-5) at 2:30 p.m. ET, and the Panthers take on the Houston Roughnecks (1-7), also at 2:30 p.m. ET.
With the postseason right around the corner, the UFL released renderings of its championship trophy this week.
