What is Penn State's injury situation as the Nittany Lions prepare to host the Washington Huskes for the annual White Out game?
, but some of those injured Nittany Lions are returning to practice. Whether they play this season remains to be seen, but coach James Franklin sounded a hopeful tone about several players whom he has characterized as having "long-term" injuries. Franklin also had good things to say about a starter who was limited against Ohio State last week.
Among the previously announced players with long-term injuries, linebacker Keon Wylie represents an important potential return. Wylie, a a redshirt sophomore, has played in 16 career games on defense and special teams and was ready to carve a bigger role on both units. He has not played yet this season, and Franklin said that Wylie's recovery timeline has not changed.
Receiver Kaden Saunders could add similar depth on offense and special teams. Saunders played through a lingering preseason injury during the early part of the season but only as a punt-returner through the first four games. Saunders has not played a snap at receiver this season, or appeared in a game since Illinois, but Franklin also expressed hope for his quick return.
