  "account": "Arizona State football team faces further challenges as starting strong safety Lyrik Rawls will be sidelined for multiple weeks due to a right leg injury. Head coach Kenny Dillingham confirmed this after practice on October 7. Rawls, a senior who transferred from Kansas for his first year with the program, had started the first four games and recorded notable performances with 11 tackles, two breakups, and one interception. This injury joins a series of significant setbacks for the team. Defensive lineman MyKeil Gardner, linebacker Zyrus Ziaseu, and defensive back Nigel Pringle were also lost for the season before the first game. Tight end Khamari Anderson, who returned from a broken leg injury sustained in April, suffered a season-ending injury in a win over Kansas in London. Right guard Wade Helton, who was injured during the Texas A&M game, missed the last two games but has since returned to practice, though his readiness for the upcoming game against Hawaii on October 10 remains uncertain.",
  "summary": "The Arizona State football team has already had some significant injuries. Now comes another as starting safety Lyrik Rawls is out.",
