Washington coach Chris Petersen announced Monday that freshman cornerback Austin Joyner suffered a knee injury Saturday and will miss the remainder of the season.
Joyner got hurt on the opening kickoff of UW’s 49-0 home win over Sacramento State.
“He got his knee. Real unfortunate,” Petersen said. “He just kind of planted weird running down there on the kickoff. The good news is he got a game under his belt, prepared him like he was planning on playing, which we were. He can still use this year as a redshirt year and take it like most college freshman do and get him dialed into the academics and have time to rehab.
