The Washington Huskies face a significant roster setback following their 24-10 win against Washington State in the Apple Cup this past Sunday. Head coach Jedd Fisch confirmed that starting running back Quaid Carr will miss several weeks and requires surgery for a hand injury sustained in the first half of the game. Fourth-year running back Jayden Limar also suffered an elbow injury late in the fourth quarter and is expected to be sidelined for a significant period. These absences, compounded by a pre-existing neck injury to Jordan Washington, have left the Huskies thin at the position. In response to the roster depletion, Trey Cooley, Brian Bonner, and Ansu Sanoe are expected to handle the majority of the team's backfield work. Fisch also noted that tight end Kade Eldridge remains an option for usage in the backfield as the coaching staff adjusts the rotation.
