Kaden Feagin News, Rumors, Updates - Illinois Fighting Illini | FOX Sports

Solid start to season Feagin totaled 16 carries for 108 yards and one touchdown during Thursday's 45-0 victory against Eastern Illinois.

Impact Feagin enjoyed a productive day on the ground, crossing the century mark and finding the end zone to start the 2024 season while averaging nearly seven YPC. The sophomore running back is entering his first season as the top back and has gotten off on the right foot to start the year. Feagin will hope to follow up on his opening performance when Illinois hosts Kansas on Saturday.

Absent from practices this week Feagin (shoulder) has not practiced this week, Bret Beherns of WCIA3 reports.

Impact Feagin not having this week does not make his status good for Illinois' upcoming game at Iowa. With just two days before the Week 12 clash, it seems more likely that his availability status is doubtful instead of questionable.

Status uncertain vs Iowa Head coach Bret Bielema indicated Monday that Feagin (shoulder) is questionable for Saturday's game against Iowa, Bret Beherns of WCIA3 reports.

Impact Feagin left the game early against Indiana with an apparent shoulder injury. The freshman running back's status is to be determined, as he is not 100 percent functional, per Bielema. In his absence, Reggie Love filled in as the primary back.

Departs after possible aggravation Feagin left the field again holding his right shoulder during the fourth quarter of Saturday's game against Indiana, Joey Wagner of 247Sports.com reports.

Impact Feagin left the contest in the first quarter due to injury, but he briefly returned in the fourth before leaving the field with an apparent injury again. It seems unlikely the staff will send the freshman back on to the field again, which would leave Reggie Love as the primary back the rest of the way.

Returns to action Feagin (undisclosed) rejoined the action during the fourth quarter of Saturday's game versus Iowa, Joey Wagner of 247Sports.com reports.

Impact Feagin departed the contest in the fourth quarter and didn't take another tote until the fourth, so he is clearly not 100 percent healthy. It remains to be seen if the issue will have any lingering effects on next week, but he's at least been able to gut it out a bit Saturday late in a close game.

Logs season high in carries Feagin totaled 24 rushes for 97 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 25-21 loss to Wisconsin.

Impact Feagin found his way into the end zone for the second week in a row, as he continued to serve as the premier back in the Fighting Illini's banged-up backfield. With junior running back Reggie Love (lower leg) still sidelined, the freshman logged career highs in rushing attempts and yards, and he also found the end zone for the second week in a row. While Feagin had to temporarily exit while dealing with a leg issue, redshirt freshman Aidan Laughery was the only other Illinois running back to log any carries (three) in this run-oriented offensive game plan. Feagin has now totaled 43 carries for 181 yards and two touchdowns over the last two games. With Illinois on bye Week 9, it's possible Feagin's workload could take a hit if Love is able to return for the team's next game against Minnesota on Saturday, Nov. 4.
