Braxton Woodson - Doesn't play vs. UAB Woodson (ankle) did not play in Friday's 24-20 loss to UAB.

Impact Woodson did not take the field Friday after a previous report expected him not to play. On a positive note, the quarterback was in uniform and participated in Army's warmups ahead of the game. He hasn't played since suffering an injury in Week 2 against FAU, but he is expected to reclaim his starting job when he returns. Through two starts this season, he has completed 6 of 17 passes for 68 yards and one interception while rushing for 296 yards and four touchdowns on 35 attempts. He will aim to return against Air Force in Week 5.

Theo Elwell - Doesn't play in Week 4 Elwell (undisclosed) didn't play in Friday's 24-20 loss to UAB.

Impact Elwell was questionable to play Friday, and the junior tight end didn't suit up for this contest. His next chance to play will come Week 5 at Air Force, but even if he plays, he'll remain as the No. 2 option at TE behind Jordan Collins.

Braxton Woodson - Dressed and warming up Friday Woodson (ankle) is dressed and warming up ahead of Friday's game at UAB, Steven Irvine of BhamBanner.com reports.

Impact Woodson is going through Navy's warm-ups, but an earlier report from Pete Thamel of ESPN.com indicates that he will serve as an emergency-only option and remains unlikely to play. Regardless, the quarterback continues making progress in his recovery, potentially paving the way for a return against Air Force next Saturday.

Braxton Woodson - Not expected to play Friday Woodson (ankle) is not expected to play and should be available in an emergency role only Friday against UAB, Pete Thamel of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Woodson is working his way back from an ankle injury and isn't expected to play Friday unless he absolutely has to. As a result, Jackson Gutierrez will start at center, with Ryan Brass as the likely No. 2 option. Woodson would aim to return in Week 5 at Air Force, but only if his recovery goes well.

Jackson Gutierrez - Expected to start Friday Gutierrez is expected to start Friday against UAB, Pete Thamel of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Braxton Woodson is recovering from an ankle injury and is expected to be available only in an emergency role, paving the way for Gutierrez to start. Gutierrez completed 6 of 12 passes for 100 yards and two touchdowns during Saturday's 38-30 defeat to Florida Atlantic while also adding even rushes for 75 yards and another score.

Theo Elwell - Questionable to play Friday Elwell (undisclosed) is questionable for Friday's game against UAB.

Impact Elwell is a depth option at TE, and his availability for this matchup is uncertain given his questionable tag. If he doesn't play, that means Jake Norris and Drew Hall would be in line to see more snaps behind TE1 Jordan Collins.

2 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Jeremiah Chalmers - Set to return Friday Chalmers (undisclosed) is available for Friday's game against UAB.

Impact Chalmers has been cleared to return to Navy's backfield for this Week 4 matchup. However, he has yet to play this season and is buried on the RB depth chart, so his chances of playing a meaningful role on offense are slim for the time being

2 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Merrick Barlow - Available Friday Barlow (undisclosed) is available for Friday's game against UAB.

Impact Barlow is set to return to action in Week 4. However, he's buried on the TE depth chart, so he's unlikely to see a lot of playing time, let alone many targets on offense.

Jackson Gutierrez - In contention to start Week 4 Gutierrez is in contention to start Friday's game at UAB, Pete Nakos of On3.com reports.

Impact Braxton Woodson (ankle) is a game-time decision for Week 4, so the Navy may need to start Gutierrez should the former be out. Even though Woodson has excelled with his feet, Week 3 saw Gutierrez do just as well with a more balanced effort, featuring six completions for 100 yards and two touchdowns to go with his rushing TD and 75 yards on the ground. Even though Gutierrez is still looking more like the Navy's QB2 than their QB1, he has posed an interesting early-season challenge to Woodson's way.

Braxton Woodson - Availability a game-time decision Woodson (ankle) will be a game-time decision for Saturday's game at UAB, Pete Nakos of On3.com reports.

Impact It looks like Navy will test out Woodson's ankle before the Week 4 clash, and should he not be ready, Jackson Gutierrez will start under center at UAB. A lot of Woodson's value comes from his feet, with just two games of action this season showcasing the running quarterback's talent. Woodson has 35 carries for 296 yards and four touchdowns, and if his pace continues, he should easily break his rushing numbers from last season.

3 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Braxton Woodson - Expected to be week-to-week Woodson (ankle) is expected to be week-to-week, Pete Thamel of ESPN reports.

Impact After suffering an ankle sprain Saturday, Woodson underwent an MRI, and the results were revealed Tuesday. The quarterback's MRI came back negative for major structural issues, which is why he is projected to be week-to-week. Navy has a bye this week before traveling to UAB on Sept. 25, and before their game, both teams will require an update on their availability, so Woodson's situation can be clarified before then.

Braxton Woodson - Awaiting results of MRI Woodson (ankle) underwent an MRI and is awaiting his results, Bill Wagner of Capital Gazette reports.

Impact Woodson requiring an MRI means his ankle injury may be a serious issue, and it keeps the quarterback's status unsettled after he was hurt in Week 2. The senior's MRI results should provide the next indication of his availability, and therefore, the Navy's outlook at quarterback. Fortunately for all parties, they have more than a week to figure out Woodson's status.

SEPTEMBER 15 • ROTOWIRE

Jordan Collins - Hauls in deep touchdown Collins totaled two receptions (on four targets) for 68 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 38-30 loss versus Florida Atlantic.

Impact Collins only had two receptions but picked up a big 64-yard touchdown to help bolster his performance and end a scoring drought. He stood out among fellow tight ends, which could help his case for TE1. However, he would need to create similar performances, which could be a challenge as Navy relies on its triple-option offense that was stumped against Florida Atlantic.

SEPTEMBER 14 • ROTOWIRE

Charles Robinson - Reels in first career touchdown Robinson had zero carries and hauled in 4 of 7 targets for 36 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 38-30 defeat versus Florida Atlantic.

Impact Robinson found success as a pass catcher, so if he can continue to leverage the passing game, he should see targets moving forward. The running back scored his first collegiate touchdown on a short 8-yard pass in the fourth quarter.

SEPTEMBER 14 • ROTOWIRE

Jackson Gutierrez - Three total touchdowns in relief Gutierrez completed 6 of 12 passes for 100 yards and two touchdowns during Saturday's 38-30 defeat to Florida Atlantic. He also had seven rushes for 75 yards with one touchdown.

Impact Gutierrez came in to relieve starter Braxton Woodson (ankle) to begin the third quarter after Woodson went down on the first offensive possession of the second half and wasn't able to return. The quarterback sparked some life into Navy's offense as the team was down 38-7 before he led three scoring drives to give the team some hope. He was able to display his passing abilities, as in Week 1 he didn't attempt a pass and only ran the ball. Gutierrez is familiar with the Midshipmen's offense since he's been with the team since 2024, so if Woodson's injury is long-term, he should draw the start under center.

SEPTEMBER 14 • ROTOWIRE

Braxton Woodson - Ankle injured during Week 2 Woodson suffered an ankle injury during the Navy's game Saturday at Florida Atlantic, Bill Wagner of CapitalGazette.com reports.

Impact Considering both Weeks 1 and 2, Woodson's injured ankle indicates why his snap tally significantly decreased from 59 to 32. During the quarterback's latest game, he logged three completions. Woodson also recorded 12 rushing attempts for 96 yards and one touchdown.

Vic Listorti - Rushes for a touchdown Listorti recorded 11 carries for 81 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 42-15 win against Towson.

Impact Listorti earned the start Saturday following the departure of last year's lead back, Alex Tecza, and produced a solid performance in his new role. The tailback was limited to only three rushing attempts all of last season but is now poised for a heavier workload this year after recording the second-most carries for the team in the opener. He was one of three different ball carriers to find the end zone, and the rushing attack will look to carry that momentum into next Saturday's matchup against FAU.
