Washington Football's First Week Five Availability Report Vs USC

October 1, 2026

Ahead of their upcoming weekend fixture, the Washington program released its initial availability report, indicating positive developments regarding several key roster members. Cornerback Emmanuel Karnley is listed as probable as he works his way back from a soft-tissue problem, while center Landen Hatchett carries a questionable designation while recovering from a wrist issue sustained late last season against Illinois.

Head coach Jedd Fisch noted that Hatchett has progressed toward clearance though full contact drills remain a final hurdle. Meanwhile, running back Rahshawn Clark has cleared the report entirely following a brief special teams return in the previous game against Minnesota.

On the opposing side, the Trojans are managing a more extensive injury report under coach Lincoln Riley. Several athletes remain sidelined for the remainder of the season, and notable contributors such as Jahkeem Stewart and Trent Mosley are listed as questionable alongside new addition Alex VanSumeren.

Tight end Mark Bowman also appeared as questionable on the midweek report, a potential absence that would significantly impact the squad given his prominent role in the passing attack and high praise from opposing defensive coordinator Ryan Walters.
