SOURCE DATE · 2026-10-22

Player availability desk

Full injury report →

Week 8 research completed October 20 for the supplied injury/quarterback items, plus Dante Moore and Julian Sayin. October 22 official follow-up verifies six game-specific designations: Singleton Available for October 22; Denegal, Smothers, Taylor and Bowman Questionable and Moore Out for October 24. Big Ten report dates are preserved without inventing an unpublished clock time. Other watch rows keep their independently dated reporting; omitted names are not clearance. Practice and return likelihood remain unknown. Six October 5 ledger entries and the October 10 official table remain historical. Coverage is limited, not an all-FBS clearance report. October 28 release adds one independently dated October 27 USC preview context note for Julian Sayin. The Week 8 document and official game reports retain their historical dates. Week 9 filings are not yet verified; Wednesday preliminary reports are not final game-day designations.

Hollywood Smothers · Texas

Official Questionable · October 24

Source date 2026-10-21. The SEC Initial Report lists Smothers as Questionable for Ole Miss at Texas on October 24. The public board states posted October 21 at 7:10 p.m. Central. This official designation supersedes the earlier reported-questionable label; it is not final game-day clearance.

Source report

Khobie Martin · Indiana

Week 8 return unconfirmed

Source date 2026-10-17. Last verified game report ruled him out against Ohio State on October 17. The October 13 coach report said he was getting close; it does not confirm clearance for Michigan on October 24. No new practice status or return date verified.

Source report

Mark Bowman · USC

Official Questionable · October 24

Source date 2026-10-21. The Big Ten Initial Report dated October 21 lists Bowman as Questionable for USC at Wisconsin on October 24, superseding the earlier expected-return report. The public page supplies the report date only; its exact publication time is not displayed. No practice participation or clearance is inferred.

Source report

Kamario Taylor · Mississippi State

Official Questionable · October 24

Source date 2026-10-21. The SEC Initial Report lists Taylor as Questionable for Oklahoma at Mississippi State on October 24. The public board states posted October 21 at 7:10 p.m. Central. His previously reported foot injury remains separately attributed. No medical clearance or practice participation is inferred.

Source report

AJ Bianco · Nevada

Reported uncertain

Source date 2026-10-19. Week 8 status against San Jose State is uncertain; RotoWire cites Chris Murray of Nevada SportsNet. The ankle injury occurred against North Dakota State. No verified return date.

Source report

Carter Jones · Nevada

Reported uncertain

Source date 2026-10-19. Week 8 status against San Jose State remains uncertain, per the report attributed to Chris Murray of Nevada SportsNet. Both Nevada quarterback injuries remain unresolved.

Source report

Malachi Singleton · Appalachian State

Official Available · October 22

Source date 2026-10-22. The Sun Belt Game Day Report lists Singleton as Available for James Madison at Appalachian State on October 22. The source update is October 22 at 14:37 UTC. This is the literal game designation, not a medical prognosis or a promise that he will play. The ankle description remains separately attributed to October 19 reporting.

Source report

Jayden Denegal · San Diego State

Official Questionable · October 24

Source date 2026-10-22. The Pac-12 Advance Report lists Denegal as Questionable for San Diego State at Colorado State on October 24. The source update is October 22 at 16:59 UTC. His right-ankle description remains separately attributed to the earlier school and named-reporter coverage. No practice participation or return likelihood is inferred.

Source report

Noah Kim · Eastern Michigan

Reported questionable

Source date 2026-10-19. Reported questionable for October 24 at Ohio. RotoWire attributes the update to Andrew E. Graham and Chris Creighton’s Monday comments about how much Kim can handle in practice. No participation designation was published here.

Source report

Dante Moore · Oregon

Official Out · October 24

Source date 2026-10-21. The Big Ten Initial Report dated October 21 lists Moore as Out for Oregon at Illinois on October 24. The public page supplies the report date only; its exact publication time is not displayed. This does not establish a diagnosis or an exact return date, and the separate Thomas/Raiola quarterback competition remains context.

Source report

Julian Sayin · Ohio State

Reported out several weeks

Source date 2026-10-19. Ryan Day said on Buckeye Roundtable that Sayin would miss at least several weeks, as reported by Eleven Warriors. Ohio State has a Week 8 bye. Testing remained ongoing; neither a season-ending diagnosis nor an exact return date is established.

Source report

Hank Brown

Healthy; coaching decision at quarterback

Source date 2026-10-20. October 20 reporting supersedes Monday’s co-starter listing: Brown is reported healthy; Jeremy Hecklinski will start at Minnesota. Do not carry the earlier shoulder issue as a current questionable injury designation.

Source report

Brock Thomas / Dylan Raiola

Quarterback competition, not an injury designation

Source date 2026-10-19. Thomas started against Nebraska; Raiola led the comeback. October 19 reporting says the Illinois starter remains undecided. Neither player is assigned an injury merely because the job is contested; Dante Moore’s return is tracked separately.

Source report

Julian Sayin

USC opponent preview: out indefinitely

Source date 2026-10-27. USC’s October 27 official preview reports a throwing-arm injury and says Sayin is out indefinitely. Luke Fahey is expected to start; Tavien St. Clair also took first-team repetitions. This is attributed reporting, not an official Week 9 game-day designation or a season-ending diagnosis.
