Washington Huskies injury report ahead of National Championship
The Washington Huskies have four players dealing with injuries ahead of the finals.
Dillon Johnson's injury update
Washington's starting running back Dillon Johnson suffered an ankle and knee injury during the final minute of the Sugar Bowl, as he was rushing the ball to try to run the clock out.
All week, the major question mark has been surrounding Johnson's status for the National Championship. Ahead of the game, he said he won't be 100% but will suit up on Monday.
"But it's all good," Johnson said. "I'll be ready to rock and roll and give whatever my team needs. I'll be ready to do it."
Running backs coach Lee Marks also said he won't be limiting any calls for Johnson.
"Dillon expects to be full go, and that's what I expect out him," Marks said. "Obviously, he's feeling as good as you can be for any running back. After each game, it feels like a car crash. ... So hopefully, God willing, Dillon continues to hit on all cylinders, so that's what we expect."
Sam Adams II's injury update
Sophomore running back Sam Adams II is questionable to play as he's dealing with an undisclosed injury.
Adams II hasn't played since Oct. 28 when he rushed for 3 yards on one carry against Stanford.
The Huskies running back had 10 carries for 23 yards and one touchdown this season.
Cameron Davis' injury update
Washington running back Cameron Davis won't be playing in the National Championship as he's out for the season with a knee injury.
