Cibastian Broughton - Game-time decision for Week 4 Broughton (ankle) will be a game-time decision for Saturday's game against UNLV, Pete Nakos of On3.com reports.

Impact After getting roughed up in Week 3, Broughton is not immediately in the clear for Akron's upcoming game against UNLV to cap off the 2026 Zips' non-conference schedule. He continues to rehab this week, and if he needs more time, Brayden Roggow is their next-best projected QB to step under center. Broughton has been stepping up with Reese Poffenbarger (not injury related) fighting his eligibility status, giving the former an opportune time while he has been healthy.
