Kansas State quarterback Collin Klein, shown running Saturday against Oklahoma State, has an undisclosed injury that is leaving his status for the Wildcats' next game uncertain.

Klein remains the leading candidate for the Heisman Trophy
Kansas State is No. 2 in the BCS standings

Kansas State coach Bill Snyder had little to offer Monday about the status of quarterback Collin Klein, who suffered what appeared to be a head injury in Saturday's 44-30 victory over Oklahoma State.

"He seems fine to me," Snyder said Monday on the Big 12 conference call.

When asked if Klein, a leading Heisman Trophy candidate, would play this week at TCU, Snyder said: "Hope so."

Speculation about Klein's status and the possibility he might have a concussion began when he was removed from the game after scoring a touchdown in the third quarter.

Asked why Klein's helmet was removed and put away after a discussion with trainers, Snyder said: "He's had his helmet off before. Maybe they're uncomfortable."

Kansas State (9-0) is ranked No. 2 in the BCS standings, behind only Alabama. The Wildcats finish the season with road games at TCU and Baylor, before hosting Texas in the season finale.

Backup quarterback Daniel Sams finished the game after replacing Klein and completed 5-of-6 passes for 45 yards.
