Taz Reddicks - Will play vs. Hawaii Reddicks (undisclosed) is not listed on the injury report for Saturday's game against Hawaii.

Impact Reddicks is available for Saturday alongside Taeshaun Lyons, who was also initially questionable. The wideout will look to lead the receiving corps and help the team secure its first win of the 2026 season.

3 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Jarvis Heimuli - Not playing in Week 1 Heimuli (undisclosed) is out for Saturday's game against UNLV.

Impact Heimuli won't be an option for this Week 1 matchup, although, to be fair, he wasn't likely to be a go-to option in the passing game. The sophomore wideout will aim to return against NMSU on Sunday, Sept. 13 in Week 2.

Cam Barfield - Sidelined vs. Runnin' Rebels Barfield (ankle) is out against UNLV in Week 1.

Impact Barfield was expected to be available, but the tailback has officially been ruled out. He left the Rainbow Warriors' Week 0 loss to Stanford with an ankle ailment, but wasn't on Hawaii's mid-week practice report. In his stead, expect DeVon Rice to lead the way on the ground.

Oakie Salave'a - Not facing UNLV Salave'a (undisclosed) is out for Saturday's game against UNLV.

Impact Salave'a won't be an option for this contest, and this means Prank Abreu should operate as the backup tight end behind Devon Tauaefa. Salave'a will aim to return against New Mexico State in Week 2 on Sept. 13.

Pofele Ashlock - Out for Week 1 Ashlock (undisclosed) is unavailable for the Rainbow Warriors on Friday night.

Impact This is a significant loss for Hawaii. The senior receiver was officially questionable for Week 1 against UNLV, but he's now been officially ruled out. Last fall, he reeled in 76 catches for 827 yards and eight touchdowns and is one of the better receivers in the nation. He'll look to return to action in Week 2 against New Mexico State. In the meantime, Tama Uiliata, Devin Alves and Kianoa Carvalho should see an uptick in targets.

Taeshaun Lyons - Available against Hawaii Lyons (undisclosed) isn't listed on the injury report for Saturday's game against Hawaii.

Impact Lyons will suit up for Saturday's game after initially being ruled questionable. The wideout is healthy and ready to bounce back from a performance against Memphis, where he only hauled in two targets for 23 yards.
