Washington Huskies lose starters Rashid Williams and Emmanuel Karnley to injuries
Summary

The No. 19 Washington Huskies defeated the Utah State Aggies 16-14 on Saturday, but lost two key starters during the contest. Wide receiver Rashid Williams and cornerback Emmanuel Karnley both exited the game with unspecified injuries. Head coach Jedd Fisch stated he does not expect Williams to miss significant time, though he could be sidelined for a brief period. The status of Karnley remains unclear as the team prepares to conclude its nonconference schedule. These departures add to a growing injury list for the Huskies, who previously lost running backs Quaid Carr and Jayden Limar in their season-opening win against the Washington State Cougars. Washington now faces a short turnaround before hosting the Eastern Washington Eagles on September 19.
