USC Star Receiver Mosley Out With Knee Injury

USC freshman wide receiver Trent Mosley is ruled out for Saturday’s Big Ten opener at Rutgers after sustaining a knee injury during the Trojans’ 49-30 win over Louisiana. Coach Lincoln Riley said Mosley is not expected to miss an extremely long period, but his return timeline remains uncertain and will depend on how he responds. Mosley has emerged as USC’s leading receiver with 13 catches for 255 yards and four touchdowns, while also contributing an 86-yard punt-return touchdown. His absence could extend into USC’s upcoming game against Oregon, making the injury especially significant as the Trojans enter a tougher part of their schedule. USC defensive lineman Jahkeem Stewart is questionable, while Rutgers quarterback Dylan Lonergan is listed as probable after missing last week’s loss to Boston College.
