Big Ten rules out NFL player returns, impacting Washington football roster

The Big Ten has prohibited NFL players from returning to the conference, affecting Washington football. Players Grady Gross and Ta'ita'i Uiagalelei are caught in limbo following a court ruling suspending an injunction that previously allowed certain players to return. The decision emerged amid controversy sparked by the Wisne et al v. NCAA case, which aimed to extend eligibility due to COVID-19 and other factors. With the ruling now in place, Coach Jedd Fisch confirmed Gross and Uiagalelei will continue practicing but their participation in regular-season games is uncertain as college football prepares for its upcoming schedule.
