Kansas Football Injury Update: RB Yasin Willis Out Indefinitely The Kansas Jayhawks’ offense has taken a big blow as running back Yasin Willis is now doubtful to return this season due to injury.

Khijohnn Cummings-Coleman - Moving to running back Commings-Coleman will switch from safety to running back, per Henry Greenstein of the Lawrence Journal-World.

Impact Cummings-Coleman's move to running back comes as the Jayhawks scramble to replenish their backfield with Yasin Willis (foot) set to miss significant time and potentially the rest of the season. Kansas added Kennesaw State transfer Chase Belcher for reinforcements in its backfield, but it'll also convert the 5-11, 200-pound safety Cummings-Coleman into a ball-carrier.

Cam Pickett - May be available Week 5 Kansas' head coach Lance Leipold announced Monday that he is optimistic about Pickett (undisclosed) being available Saturday against Middle Tennessee State, Matt Tait of Wave The W...

Impact Leipold is quoted as saying Pickett has been moving quite well for the first time in a while, welcoming for a Kansas team down one of its top-two running backs (Yasin Willis) heading into the last game of non-conference play. For last season's Jayhawks, Pickett logged 45 receptions (on 66 targets) for 476 yards and three touchdowns, so KU's team knows he can excel when healthy. The question is whether Pickett can log a tune-up game before he and Kansas get stuck in more rigorous conference matchups.

Cole Ballard - Doubtful to face Blue Raiders Ballard (shoulder) isn't expected to be available in Week 5 against Middle Tennessee State, per Michael Swain of 247Sports.com.

Impact Ballard sat out Week 3, and the backup quarterback appears slated to miss another contest. If he indeed isn't available against the Blue Raiders, Chase Jenkins will be the top backup to starter Isaiah Marshall.

Chase Belcher - Added to Kansas roster Belcher will transfer to Kansas, per Michael Swain of 247Sports.com.

Impact The tailback spent the 2025 season at Kennesaw State, where he ran for 566 yards and two scores on 5.3 yards per carry, tacking on 13 catches for 194 yards and two scores through the air. He should add depth to the Jayhawks' backfield.

Yasin Willis - Out indefinitely, may be done for season Willis (foot) is out indefinitely after undergoing surgery and may not return for the remainder of Kansas' 2026 season, Henry Greenstein of the Lawrence Journal-World reports.

Impact Willis suffered an injury to his right foot back in Week 3, and just over a week after the running back got hurt, he underwent surgery. The procedure is expected to require a long-term recovery, currently without a clear return date set for him. Though there is a possibility that Willis returns in time before Kansas' 2026 season concludes, it is unlikely, which explains why the Jayhawks recently acquired Chase Belcher, Michael Swain of 247Sports reports. At the time of Willis' injury, he has 27 rushing attempts for 125 yards and two touchdowns with KU.

College Football Week 4 Expert Picks, Predictions For Oregon-USC And More

Can Kansas Football Revive Excitement Around the Program This Season? Kansas football enters its bye week with plenty of questions. Can Lance Leipold and the Jayhawks salvage the year?

5 DAYS AGO • SI.COM

Cam Pickett - Ends up missing game Pickett (undisclosed) did not play in Saturday's 24-17 loss to Arizona State.

Impact Pickett was a game-time decision heading into the matchup, but he ultimately was inactive. The 6-foot wide receiver's next chance to see the field will be after the Jayhawks' bye versus Middle Tennessee State on Oct. 3. He's logged just two catches for six yards this season.

SEPTEMBER 20 • ROTOWIRE

Martin Connington - Searching for consistency Connington converted on 1-for-2 field-goal attempts and 2-for-2 point-after tries during Saturday's 24-17 defeat versus Arizona State.

Impact Connington connected on a 46-yard field goal, but he has now missed a field goal attempt in consecutive games. The recent accuracy dip is worth monitoring, but it's not enough to panic about at this point. The bye week comes at a good time, and fantasy managers should get a better read on his reliability when Kansas returns against Middle Tennessee in Week 5.

SEPTEMBER 20 • ROTOWIRE

Nahzae Cox - Produces despite limited volume Cox gathered in all two targets for 68 yards during Saturday's 24-17 defeat against Arizona State.

Impact Cox led Kansas with 68 receiving yards against Arizona State, continuing to flash efficiency whenever the ball comes his way. The challenge is that his opportunities have remained relatively limited compared to some of the other pass catches. For now, Cox is more of a watch-list player heading into the bye, though another efficient performance against Middle Tennessee in Week 5 could boost his fantasy value.

SEPTEMBER 20 • ROTOWIRE

Tate Nagy - Makes the most of his opportunities Nagy totaled three receptions (on five targets) for 61 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 24-17 loss to Arizona State.

Impact Nagy had one of the more interesting performances of the week, scoring both a 72-yard punt return touchdown and a 38-yard receiving touchdown. Kansas' upcoming bye week makes him more of a stash than a starter, but he's worth monitoring if his offensive role continues to grow when Kansas returns.

SEPTEMBER 20 • ROTOWIRE

Nik McMillan - Still leads the way in targets McMillan hauled in 4 of 8 targets for 44 yards during Saturday's 24-17 defeat against Arizona State.

Impact McMillan didn't post a huge stat line against Arizona State, but he remains Kansas' most consistently targeted receiver though three games. The production hasn't always followed the volume, yet his role keeps him firmly on the fantasy radar. The Jayhawks are on a bye next week, giving managers a chance to hold him ahead of a favorable matchup with Middle Tennessee in Week 5.

SEPTEMBER 20 • ROTOWIRE

Dylan Edwards - Trending up at the right time Edwards posted 18 carries for 89 yards and caught all four targets for 16 yards during Saturday's 24-17 defeat versus Arizona State.

Impact Edwards turned in his best performance of the season against Arizona State in London. The increased workload was an encouraging sign in an offense that is starting to settle into its identity. Backup Yasin Willis was reportedly seen on the sidelines in a walking boot, a situation worth monitoring as Kansas heads into its bye week. If Willis is limited when the Jayhawks return, Edwards could be in line for an even larger share of the backfield workload. The timing works out well for fantasy managers. Kansas has a bye next week, giving Edwards additional time to rest before a favorable home matchup in Week 5 against Middle Tennessee. If his workload continues to grow, he could emerge as a strong fantasy starter heading into October.

SEPTEMBER 20 • ROTOWIRE

Isaiah Marshall - Volume keeps trending up Marshall was 17-for-33 passing for 235 yards, one touchdown and one interception during Saturday's 24-17 loss against Arizona State. He also had 13 rushes for 52 yards.

Impact Marshall's results in London were disappointing, however, the workload remained encouraging for fantasy managers. Marshall attempted 33 passes against Arizona State and continues to see enough passing and rushing volume to maintain fantasy relevance even when Kansas struggles offensively. Kansas is on a bye next week, giving managers a week to hold rather than start him. Looking ahead, a home matchup with Middle Tennessee in Week 5 offers a favorable opportunity for Marshall to build on his recent volume and potentially deliver one of his best fantasy performances of the season.
