Washington Football Avoids Injury Bug Heading Into Regular Season
Jedd Fisch's favorite part of Saturday's Mock Game may have nothing to do with the play on the field, but rather that his team is fully healthy.
The Washington Huskies concluded their 2026 training camp with a mock game at Husky Stadium on Saturday. The evening event provided fans with a final taste of summer, as well as a chance to see coach Jedd Fisch and the team. While there were standout performances, the most significant takeaway was the team's overall health as they prepare for their season opener against the Washington State Cougars in the Apple Cup.
Coach Fisch expressed satisfaction with the camp's health, stating, "We're getting everyone back at the right time, so [we] should have everyone back, or close to it, starting for practice on Sunday." A few key players, including center Landen Hatchett, cornerback Dylan Robinson, and right guard Champ Taulealea, have been limited in recent practices but are expected to be practicing by next week.
In contrast to recent years, when the Huskies experienced significant injury issues, this year's team boasts greater depth at essential positions. Head coach Fisch and his staff aim to have their entire roster ready for the regular season, which begins with a critical Apple Cup matchup on September 6.
