Impact Porter will miss his first game of the season during Saturday's showdown with Washington as the result of a lower-body injury. The 5-foot-10 senior has been incredible to start the season, turning 49 total touches into 259 yards and three touchdowns across the Wildcats' first three games. This is a massive blow for Northwestern who will likely rely upon Joseph Himon and Caleb Komolafe to handle a larger share of the backfield against the Huskies.

Impact Not having Porter in the backfield would be a huge blow for the Wildcats, and he'll be a game-time decision for this contest against the Huskies. If Porter is unable to go, then Joseph Himon would operate as the lead threat out of the backfield.

Impact Porter scored his second and third touchdowns of the season, including a one-year rushing score in the first quarter followed by a three-yard touchdown catch early in the second quarter. The senior running back has already exceeded his production from last season when he logged 87 carries for 286 yards over 11 games.

Scores in loss Porter recorded 42 yards and one touchdown on seven carries during Saturday's 17-14 loss to Miami of Ohio.
