Summary

Washington Huskies head coach Jedd Fisch provided updates on player injuries during Big Ten Media Days in Chicago. He announced that redshirt sophomore running back will not be ready for the start of fall camp due to a serious upper-body injury suffered in the spring. However, all other running backs, wide receivers, defensive backs, and linebackers are expected to participate in the conditioning test on August 3. The loss of this running back intensifies the workload on veteran transfers Trey Cooley and Jayden Limar. Fisch also noted the return of senior edge rusher Russell Davis II, who missed the entire 2025 season due to injury, highlighting his importance for the defense.
