Kansas State has been lucky so far in the preseason to avoid serious injuries, except for one. Camden Beebe, brother of Kansas State legend and now Dallas Cowboy Cooper Beebe, has announced he is medically retiring from the sport of football.
Beebe announced on social media that due to a medical issue, he has decided to medically retire, but will be remaining with the team as student coach.

Losing Beebe is tough for K-State and its offensive line because he was in the mix to be a part of the newly built offensive line for head coach Chris Klieman. Having Beebe around as a coach could be very beneficial however as he could be an asset to the staff.
Other than Beebe, pretty much all the other Wildcats are healthy and set to go for Week 1. Kansas State was lucky to avoid any serious injuries in fall camp that took anyone out for either a long amount of time or even the whole season.
Of course, players are going to tweak things here and there, but not having any major injuries heading into the season is huge as this team will be at full strength. It is always an advantage to start with no injuries cause any sort of injury can linger all season long.
If Kansas State can stay healthy for as long as possible, which could give them their best chance of staying at the top of the Big 12 and taking down other tough teams such as Arizona, Oklahoma State, West Virginia, and others.
