Washington Huskies running back Jordan Washington likely out for season
Summary

Washington Huskies sophomore running back Jordan Washington is unlikely to play this season due to a head and neck injury sustained in spring practice. After receiving treatment and undergoing rehabilitation, head coach Jedd Fisch confirmed at Big Ten Media Days that Washington's status remains uncertain as he continues physical therapy. Washington, who was expected to compete for the starting job, had been receiving first-team reps prior to the injury, which occurred during a padded practice on April 4. With his absence, Quad Carr Jr. has stepped up and will compete with transfer running backs Trey Cooley and Jayden Limar for the primary ball-carrier role in the upcoming season. Washington expressed optimism about his future in football despite the setback.
