Out against Jackson State Rodgers (knee) is out for Monday's opener versus Jackson State, Scott Richey of The Champaign News-Gazette reports.

Impact Rodgers will miss the Fighting Illini's season opener as he continues to deal with a knee injury. The 6-foot-6 guard luckily has shed a knee brace he was wearing in the latter half of the offseason, which bodes well for an earlier return this season. His next chance to see the court will be on Friday against Florida Gulf Coast.

Sheds brace, still no timeframe Rodgers (knee) is no longer wearing his knee brace, but still has no timeframe for a potential return to action, per Scott Richey of The Champaign News-Gazette.

Impact Rodgers is reportedly progressing, but the Illini coaching staff still doesn't know when the guard might be able to return. Rodgers missed the entire 2024-2025 season, and looks to be in danger of missing at least a portion of the 2025-2026 campaign as well.

Impact It has been easily more than one month since Rodgers underwent knee surgery. The next part is progress, and that has been shown on his end. However, there is still no timetable for Rodgers' return, and his indefinite absence will remain that way until further notice.

AUGUST 26, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Undergoes surgery, out indefinitely Rodgers (knee) has undergone surgery and is still out indefinitely, according to Jeremy Werner of 247Sports.

Impact Now that Rodgers has undergone knee surgery, his next step is rehab. Illinois' head coach Brad Underwood did not publicize Rodgers' timetable, so he remains out indefinitely. Having not played since 2023, Rodgers may be on the verge of logging a multi-year absence.
