Washington tight end Hunter Bryant could potentially return to the field later this season, head coach Chris Petersen said Thursday.
Bryant initially injured his knee in October 2017. He then re-aggravated the injury this summer and had surgery in June.
“He’s doing really well,” Petersen said. “We’re kind of on the same plan we’ve been on all season long. We said early on that there was a chance he could play at the end of the year and we’re on track.”
Bryant played in nine games as a true freshman in 2017, starting five. He finished with the third-most receptions on the team and was named a ESPN Freshman All-American.
