USC defensive lineman Jahkeem Stewart is expected to miss the start of the season due to a foot injury. Stewart, who also had foot surgery last season, will likely return before USC's Big Ten opener at Rutgers on September 19. This injury follows the announcement that starting center Kilian O’Connor will miss the entire year. Despite missing Stewart in the early games against San Jose State, Fresno State, and Louisiana, USC aims for a strong start to the season. The Trojans’ primary goal will be to have Stewart fully fit for their significant matchup against Oregon on September 26.
