Huskies RB Injury: Camp Start in Doubt for Star

Washington Huskies head coach Jedd Fisch provided an injury update ahead of the 2026 fall camp. Redshirt sophomore running back is not anticipated to be ready for the start of camp due to a serious upper-body injury from the spring. This situation increases the importance of veteran transfers Trey Cooley and Jayden Limar to manage the running back duties. Cooley has limited prior season carries, while Limar offers experience despite less production.

Last year's leading rushers, Jonah Coleman and Adam Mohammed, have departed, with only Demond Williams Jr. returning from that trio. This necessitates other players elevating their performance for a balanced offense. Defensively, senior edge rusher Russell Davis II is back after missing the entire 2025 season with an injury. He recorded a career-high three sacks in November 2024. Fellow edge rusher Isaiah Ward is also expected to be a key contributor to the defense.
