Set for bigger role moving forward Cooley is slated to see a considerable uptick in carries following the upper-body injuries to both Quaid Carr and Jayden Limar, Andy Yamashita of The Seattle Times reports.

Impact The Huskies lost their top two running backs, so Cooley is in line to handle a bigger role out of the backfield alongside Brian Bonner. Cooley had four rushes for one year in Week 1, but with both Carr and Limar out, the senior tailback should see most of the rushing work for the time being. Cooley hasn't handled a significant workload since the 2023 season, when he had 64 carries for 274 yards across eight games with Georgia Tech.

Because of injury, the running back's 2025 season includes zero rushing attempts. But before then, as part of Georgia Tech, Cooley recorded 70 carries for 300 yards and there touchdowns.

He'll compete with Jordan Washington, Jayden Limar and others for carries.

The former Louisville transfer ran for 274 yards and three touchdowns on 64 rushing attempts for the Yellow Jackets in 2023 and was hoping for a potential breakout season in 2024 prior to his injury. The news that Cooley is ramping things up in practice is encouraging, though a definitive return date has not been set thus far. His next opportunity to return will come against Virginia Tech this Saturday, though the coaching staff could choose to wait until after next week's bye to give Cooley extra time to recover.

The senior running back ran for 274 yards and three touchdowns in eight games for Georgia Tech last season after transferring in from Louisville and was hoping to see and expanded role within the offense in 2024.

It's unclear what injury he is dealing with, but it's a positive sign that he was included on the depth chart for Week 1.

Impact After sharing the starting running back role throughout fall camp, Cooley has surprisingly failed to record a single rushing attempt or reception during the team's first two games.

SEPTEMBER 14, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Working towards big role Cooley has shared the starting running back role early in fall camp, Alexis Cubit of the Louisville Courier Journal reports.

Impact Cooley shared the first team reps with Jalen Mitchell, who had the second most rushing yards for the Cardinals last season. Cooley did not play in the spring game, likely in a cautious move to stay healthy for fall camp. As camp shapes up, either Cooley or Mitchell may emrge as the No. 1 running back, though for now, it appears the team is running by committee.

AUGUST 15, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Sits out of spring game Cooley (undisclosed) did not participate in Louisville's spring game, SI.com reports.

Impact Cooley will set his sights on being healthy for fall camp after missing the final portion of spring practice. Jalen Mitchell was the standout from the backfield in the spring game and is trending towards a starting role. Tennessee transfer Tiyon Evans will also present another hurdle to Cooley's path to playing time once he's healthy.
