Washington football may be without freshman DB vs. Iowa Hawkeyes

Washington’s defensive back unit faces an unexpected challenge heading into Friday’s matchup against the Iowa Hawkeyes, as a freshman cornerback remains sidelined with an undisclosed injury. The player, who had already started three of the Huskies’ first five games, is now out of the lineup, raising questions about depth at a critical position.

Meanwhile, Iowa’s offense is dealing with its own uncertainty at quarterback, as starter Hank Brown—who left the team’s last game against Ohio State with a shoulder strain—has not ruled himself out but has not confirmed his availability for the game. The Hawkeyes, ranked 20th nationally, will rely on Brown’s status to determine their offensive approach against a Huskies defense that has struggled to limit scoring this season.

On the other side, Washington’s offensive line continues to rotate through new starters, with center Landen Hatchett returning after missing the first five games and providing much-needed experience to the unit.
