Trevor Rogers - DNP for Week 2 Rogers (undisclosed) did not play during Saturday's 21-18 win over Syracuse.
Impact Rogers' inactivity continued for another game, this time California's first win of the 2026 season. At the very least, the wide receiver's questionable status suggests he is not too far from a return.

Daunte Bacheyie - Records second TD of 2026 Bacheyie registered four receptions for 73 yards and a touchdown during Saturday's 21-18 loss versus California.

Justus Ross-Simmons - Hits triple digits in ACC opener Ross-Simmons tallied six receptions for 105 yards during Saturday's 21-18 loss against California.
Impact Ross-Simmons easily had the most receiving yards of any player on either side, but the production came in a losing effort. It was just the second 100-yard game of his career, and his first as a member of the Orange. He had a career-high 123 receiving yards for Colorado State in a loss against Washington State on Sept. 2, 2023.
SEPTEMBER 12 • ROTOWIRE
Umari Hatcher - Totals six receptions in home loss Hatcher logged six receptions for 77 yards during Saturday's 21-18 defeat against California.
Impact Hatcher was unable to get back into the end zone, something the senior did twice in the opener against FCS New Hampshire. However, the senior still had a respectable amount of receptions and a solid yardage total. He'll look to keep up the good work with a quick turnaround Thursday at Syracuse.
