Following the TCU game, Lindsay, who was expected to redshirt this season before Devan Cambridge's knee injury in December, played three minutes in the next two games and stepped away from the team after that.
Asked about Lindsay's absence following the win at Oklahoma State, head coach Grant McCasland said "it's not gonna work" for players who aren't committed to playing defense.
