Huskies' Offensive Line Shaken by Hatchett Injury
27 Sep
Summary
- Landen Hatchett's comeback from a broken wrist is stalled, doubtful for the Minnesota game.
- Starting defensive backs Rahshawn Clark and Manny Karnley are questionable with injuries.
- Kolt Dieterich will continue to start at center in place of the injured Hatchett.
The Washington Huskies face significant injury concerns heading into their game against Minnesota. Starting center Landen Hatchett, who began the season attempting a comeback from a broken wrist that ended his 2025 season, has been downgraded to doubtful. He has not yet received medical clearance to return to play.
This situation leaves converted offensive tackle Kolt Dieterich to start at center for the fourth consecutive game. Meanwhile, the defensive backfield is also affected, with starting defensive backs Rahshawn Clark and Manny Karnley listed as questionable. Clark is recovering from shoulder surgery, and Karnley is dealing with a soft-tissue leg injury.
If Karnley and Clark are unable to play, freshman Jeron Jones is the likely first option to fill one of the defensive back positions. If both are out, further decisions will be made by the coaching staff. On a more positive note, defensive tackle DeSean Watts has been upgraded to probable status, and defensive tackle Elinneus Davis and edge rusher Logan George are also listed as probable after missing the previous game.
