With quarterbacks Jack Coan and Reid Sinnett both going down to injury, Kurt Benkert will have a role in the Brahmas' offense just days after joining the team.
Eric Christian Smith/ContributorAfter learning at about 9 or 10 p.m. Wednesday night that he’d be joining the San Antonio Brahmas, quarterback Kurt Benkert began scrambling to pack, nabbing about four hours of sleep before a 5:30 a.m. flight from northwest Florida to the XFL training hub in Arlington.
A Brahmas offense that was already floundering, ranking next-to-last in the league in both rushing and passing, will"probably” turn to Jawon Pass as the starting quarterback Sunday at Arlington, Ward said, while Benkert will have a role in the offense just three days after his first practice. The greatest challenge will be getting up to speed with the Brahmas’ offense, but Benkert said the volume of plays on his plate is low enough to be manageable. Though the concepts in the passing attack are familiar, the terminology remains a hurdle.
“It’s really beneficial for a guy like me to be able to come in, go sling it around and have some fun,” Benkert said. “I’m sure I won’t want it that much as I get a few weeks down the line, but week one, coming in on two days to prep, I think it’s going to be really helpful to turn down that learning curve.”
The XFL announced Dec. 12 that he had been assigned to the Houston Roughnecks, but Benkert said the news was a product of “miscommunication,” as he had never officially signed with the league. He wanted to keep his NFL options open, and the prospect of spending time with his wife and daughter was more appealing than jumping into January training camp for the upstart league.
