Arizona State Star's Initial Week 13 Status Revealed

TEMPE -- The Arizona State Sun Devils (7-3, 5-2 Big 12) are gearing up for the second-to-last game of their regular season on Saturday night against the Colorado Buffaloes (3-7, 1-6) in what is the first time the teams are set to face-off in the new conference.

One of the resounding themes of the Arizona State season has been the numerous bone-crushing injuries the team has faced - Ben Coleman, Sam Leavitt, Xavion Alford, and Zyrus Fiaseu all suffered season-ending setbacks, while numerous other key players have missed sporadic amounts of time in addition.

The injury situation has improved gradually outside of the individuals that are out for the season - although WR Jordyn Tyson has potential to miss his fourth consecutive contest. The next three nights will be crucial when it comes to where the Colorado transfer is standing, and the first player availability report of the week was unveiled on Wednesday night.

OUT

DB Rodney Bimage Jr., RB Kyson Brown, WR Noble Johnson, RB Grayson Rigdon, TE Coleson Arends, LB Isaiah Iosefa, TE Jayden Fortier, DL Zac Swanson

Bimage is officially out for this game after suffering a scary injury following a hard hit in the second half of the win over West Virginia. Bimage was down for several minutes and the medical cart was unearthed before the cornerback got up on his own power. Still, it appears as if extreme precautions will be taken before a return is possible.

Brown and Swanson have not played since the win over TCU on September 26 - it appears unlikely that either makes a return in 2025, but the fact that they remain on the injury report leaves a slight door open that it can still happen.
