Arizona State loses Wade Helton to injury ahead of Kansas game

Wade Helton, a junior offensive lineman for Arizona State, will be sidelined for several weeks due to an injury sustained during a recent game against Texas A&M. Helton started at right guard before he had to leave the field with his right leg uninjured and later appeared on crutches. His absence adds to the Sun Devils' challenges, as the team has already lost three players for the season. Helton's position will be filled by sophomore Rob Lapuaho, who is expected to step up in this critical role.
