Safety Alton Julian

-> Julian's stretch of rough injury luck continues as head coach Jonathan Smith said last week that the redshirt senior would miss the remainder of the season after recently undergoing a "procedure." Smith didn't elaborate on what Julian's injury was, but regardless, it's a brutal break for Julian who has been working so tirelessly to return to the field after suffering an ACL tear in 2021. The good news here is that Julian only played in four games, and didn't play all of last season, so theoretically, he'd be a prime candidate for a one or perhaps even two-year medical waiver. Considering he was a redshirt sophomore in '21, didn't play at all in '22, and just in three games in '23, there's a strong case that he should get one, if not two extra years if applied for...

Inside linebacker Makiya Tongue

-> Tongue will miss the remainder of the 2023 season as Smith announced that his knee injury suffered was season-ending. The 6-foot-2, 223-pounder had switched to inside linebacker before spring practices and was coming into his own at the position, tallying six tackles and one forced fumble this season. In his absence, look for bigger roles from ILB's John Miller, Melvin Jordan, and Isaiah Chisom.

Tongue, who occasionally makes YouTube videos on his journey, uploaded a video saying that he tore his ACL, MCL, meniscus, and patella tendon "all in one cut." He added that his doctor said it was a rare injury and one he had only seen twice. His expected recovery time is around one to two years. He's begun the rehab process...

ILB Mason Tufaga

-> Smith was asked about off-season Utah transfer Tufaga recently, and Smith reiterated that he's still not healthy. It's unclear what Tufaga's injury is, but we didn't see him throughout fall camp...

Outside linebacker Ryan Franke

-> Smith was asked about OLB Ryan Franke's status recently and he said he's also not healthy. The 6-foot-3, 244-pounder suffered an injury before the start of the 2022 season and missed all of last season. Per Smith, he's still not back to full health...

Defensive Back Tyrice Ivy

-> It was reported recently that Ivy would miss the remainder of the regular season... Ivy hasn't played since the Cal game due to an undisclosed injury...

Defensive Back Noble Thomas

-> Thomas' status will be one to watch on gameday as he's trending toward a game-time decision. After missing the Arizona matchup, Thomas returned against Colorado and played 47 snaps, but was a surprising omission against the Cardinal last week, not seeing the field. Thomas has become a consistent part of the secondary since the near beginning of Pac-12 play and the Beavers are a better secondary with him on the field. We didn't get a specific update on Thomas from Smith this week, but he didn't mention him when talking about injuries from the Stanford game, so we'll see if he's able to go against the Huskies.
