During a game against Northwestern on October 24, 2026, Rutgers quarterback Dylan Lonergan left the field after suffering a head injury on just his third play. Following his exit, backups AJ Surace and Sean Ashenfelder struggled to perform, combining for just 100 passing yards and two interceptions. Lonergan had been showing improvement earlier this season, recently throwing for 291 yards and three touchdowns against Maryland.
