Summary

Washington State wide receiver Tony Freeman is expected to miss the upcoming road game against Kansas State due to a knee injury. Coach Kirby Moore stated Monday that Freeman is trending toward being out while the team awaits results from an MRI. Freeman sustained the injury during the first quarter of Sunday's Apple Cup and played only 10 snaps before leaving the field. His absence forces Washington State to rely on receivers Daniel Blood and Darrius Clemons to increase their offensive contributions. The team also experienced difficulties in the return game following Freeman's exit, leading to errors on punt and kickoff returns. Elsewhere on the roster, cornerback Jalil Tucker and defensive end Ben Beatty are expected to be available for the Kansas State matchup.
