Washington football injury report for postponed Michigan State game
· Yahoo Sports
After weathering a nationwide ground stoppage that delayed their arrival in East Lansing until almost 3am EST, Washington will face Michigan State in another Big Ten road game at a new time of 2:30pm PST.
Injuries are likely not top of mind for the Huskies, both because of the flight delays and because Jedd Fisch's squad is mostly healthy.

Here's what the final availability report looks like heading into Saturday's game.
RB Jordan Washington - OUT
Washington is out for the season with a neck injury he suffered during spring practice. Fisch was asked about his third-year running back's status for 2027 and beyond, but he said there is no update at this time and Washington's return to play will be dependent on continued scans that have yet to take place.
WR Christian Moss - OUT
Moss injured his leg on the first play of the season and will miss the rest of the year, which has allowed Chris Lawson to break into the starting lineup and blossom as a star for the Huskies offense. Fisch has said previously that the Huskies will pursue a medical waiver for Moss, who is a sixth-year senior.
RB Quaid Carr - OUT
Carr injured his hand in the Apple Cup and is out for the rest of the season. He took control of the running back room after Washington's injury in the spring and was expected to be a major contributor after serving as the Huskies' third or fourth running back last season behind Jonah Coleman and Adam Mohammed. In his absence, fourth-year Jayden Limar has been the lead back when healthy, followed by freshman Brian Bonner Jr.
RB Trey Cooley - OUT
Cooley suffered a concussion in Washington's game against Penn State last week and will miss his first game of the season, the sixth Huskies running back to miss action due to injury (Washington, Carr, Limar, second-year back Julian McMahan, who is out for the year with a foot injury, and freshman Ansu Sanoe, who missed one game with the flu and one with a foot issue). Limar, Bonner, and walk-on Ryken Moon will be the Huskies' top three backs on Saturday, according to Fisch.
C Landen Hatchett - OUT
Hatchett is out for the season with a head/neck/spine injury he announced prior to the Nebraska game. He was not seen on the sidelines last week against Penn State after undergoing surgery, according to both offensive line coach Michael Switzer and his brother (and right guard) Geirean Hatchett. The younger Hatchett is expected to make a full recovery and return to the field in 2027, per his social media post.
S CJ Christian - OUT
Christian tore his Achilles during spring practice and will miss the season, with Washington going as far as to remove his jersey number from the team website since he will not be available this year. The seventh-year senior has dealt with injuries constantly during his time on Montlake after transferring in from Florida International, and Fisch was less definitive about whether they will pursue a medical waiver for Christian to return for an eighth season next year.
