Jovesa Damuni News, Rumors, Updates - BYU Cougars | FOX Sports

Good to go after multi-game absence Damuni (leg) is available for Saturday's game at TCU.

Impact Week 5 will mark Damuni's first chance to play in 2026 after a leg injury rendered him out of action for approximately one month. Last year, the running back logged 111 rushing yards and one touchdown on 19 carries, a decent first season with statistical production.

Out for Week 2 Damuni (leg) is out for Saturday's game against Arizona.

Expected to play this year Head coach Kalani Sitake indicated that Damuni (leg) is expected to play this year and is getting closer to a return, but no timeline has been made official yet, per Mitch Harper o...

Impact Damuni suffered a fairly serious leg injury during spring camp and has yet to return to the field, so Sitake's update is a step in the right direction. The 6-foot running back served in a reserve role for the Cougars last season, running for 111 yards and a touchdown on 5.8 YPC to go along with six receptions for 44 scoreless yards through the air. While a return seems to be getting closer, his continued absence thus far puts his availability for BYU's season opener in jeopardy, barring any further updates.
