What Happened

Washington quarterback Demond Williams left Friday’s game against Iowa late in the first half after a run and went for X-rays on his side and ribs, putting his availability for the Oct. 16 game at Purdue in question. Williams went into the medical tent before leaving for the examination, the team announced. Washington has not announced a diagnosis or the injury’s severity, or said whether Williams would return against Iowa or miss future games. The Huskies entered the game 3-2 after losses to Minnesota and USC. If Williams cannot return, Washington must settle its quarterback plan before the next Big Ten game at Purdue. The program has not identified who would take the next snaps. Williams’ status remains unresolved.
