OCTOBER 10 • ROTOWIRE

CJ Castner - Good to go Saturday Castner (undisclosed) is available for Saturday's game at UMass, per the MAC availability report.

Impact Castner, who has not played yet this season, has a chance to make his season debut Saturday. It's unclear the redshirt freshman will see the field though given his place on the depth chart.

OCTOBER 10 • ROTOWIRE

David McComb - Remains out Saturday McComb (upper body) remains out for Saturday's game versus UMass, per the MAC availability report.

Impact McComb's status for the rest of 2026 remains up in the air, per a report from On3.com a week ago, so it shouldn't be too surprising that he's sidelined this week, and it's possible he may not be available again in 2026. Caleb Heavner should continue to start while McCobb is sidelined.

OCTOBER 10 • ROTOWIRE

Christian Ross - Good to go Saturday Ross is available for Saturday's game at UMass, per the MAC availability report.

Impact Ross, who has missed the last two games with an undisclosed injury, is available to return Saturday on the road. He caught four of seven targets for 52 yards and a touchdown across the first three games of the season.

Impact Billups-Williams recorded his fourth game with at least four receptions this year Saturday against Bowling Green. The wide receiver reeled in a 10-yard pass from Caleb Heavner to tie the game in the fourth quarter. The Illinois native has 19 catches for 265 yards and two touchdowns so far.

OCTOBER 3 • ROTOWIRE

Caleb Heavner - Records first start of season Heavner was 17-for-24 passing for 198 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 24-20 defeat versus Bowling Green. He also had 15 rushes for 24 yards.

Impact Heavner made his first start of the campaign, replacing the injured David McComb (upper body/lower body), on Saturday against Bowling Green. The quarterback scored his first touchdown of the year after tossing a 10-yard pass to Lynel Billups-Williams to tie the game in the fourth quarter. Despite rushing for only 24 yards, the Texas native carried the ball 15 times.

OCTOBER 3 • ROTOWIRE

Christian Ross - Not playing Saturday Ross (undisclosed) is listed out ahead of Saturday's game against Bowling Green.

Impact Ross will be forced to sit out back-to-back games as he tends to an undisclosed injury. The 6-foot-4 tight end will work to be available for next week's contest against UMass.

OCTOBER 3 • ROTOWIRE

Caleb Heavner - Expected to start Week 5 Heavner is expected to start in Saturday's game against Bowling Green, Pete Nakos of On3.com reports.

Impact Heavner was likely to start Week 5 because of injuries to David McComb (upper body/lower body), who looks like he will be out against Bowling Green. If the former excels, he may land a regular starting role moving forward, as McComb's availability for the season is in question. The question is whether or not Heavner can step up. He has the potential to throw and run well, as indicated by his 77.8 completion percentage and 5.1 yards averaged per rushing attempt, but his early 0-1 TD-INT ratio does not spark immediate confidence in his overall ability going into conference MACtion.

OCTOBER 2 • ROTOWIRE

David McComb - Expected to be out, season status unclear McComb (upper body/lower body) is not expected to play in Saturday's game against Bowling Green, and his status for the remainder of the season is unclear due to his multiple injur...

Impact Considering that McComb was doubtful for Week 5, him not playing against Bowling Green would be completely unsurprising. But because of injuries to both his upper and lower body, a quick return may not be in the cards for the freshman quarterback. In his place, Caleb Heavner is expected to start, and if and when the former can return this season will be put into question moving forward.

OCTOBER 2 • ROTOWIRE

Caleb Heavner - Likely to start Week 5 Heavner is likely to Saturday's game against Bowling Green, Steve Helwick of SB Nation reports.

Impact David McComb (upper body/lower body) is doubtful for Week 5, which is why Heavner (McComb's backup) projects to start Saturday. So far, the latter has completed 77.8 percent of nine passes and logged seven rushing attempts for 36 yards, reasonable numbers for a backup of his caliber. However, Heavner has not scored any touchdowns, and one of his two incompletions resulted in an interception, meaning he has more turnovers than TDs. But by playing Bowling Green at home, Heaver can take advantage of facing a winless BGSU team and pose an adequate challenge for McComb's starting role.

SEPTEMBER 29 • ROTOWIRE

David McComb - Doubtful for Week 5 McComb (upper body/lower body) is doubtful for Saturday's game against Bowling Green, Steve Helwick of SB Nation reports.

Impact McComb has more than just one injury, as he is dealing with issues in both his upper and lower body, resulting in his doubtful status. With the quarterback doubtful for Week 5, Caleb Heavner is likely to start Miami (OH)'s upcoming game Saturday. If no update comes by game day, the MAC availability report is expected to update his Week 5 injury status.
