Jahkeem Stewart out for USC's conference opener at Rutgers

USC defensive lineman Jahkeem Stewart will miss the team's Big Ten opener against Rutgers this Saturday, marking the fourth straight game he will not play due to a foot injury. Stewart initially showed promise of returning after missing the season's first three games, as head coach Lincoln Riley noted he was close to practicing fully. Despite some participation in warmups early this week, Stewart remains sidelined. The Trojans previously lost standout freshman wide receiver Trent Mosley for the same game due to injury. USC seeks to extend their 3-0 record as they transition from nonconference play to their conference schedule.
