BYU has announced its initial injury report ahead of the upcoming road game against the Iowa State Cyclones. Scheduled for Saturday, this matchup is generating significant interest due to player availability and injuries.
Key Injury Updates for BYU and Iowa State
One of the most crucial updates from BYU’s report is the status of star linebackers Jack Kelly and Isaiah Glasker. Both players are listed as available for the game, coming off recent injuries. Kelly returned during the game against Utah, while Glasker spent time in the injury tent during the same contest.

Raider Damuni, who suffered an injury in the Arizona game, and Tommy Prassas, who has been sidelined for over a month, are both categorized as doubtful for Saturday. Probable player Jayden Dunlap is expected to see action.
Iowa State’s Injury Concerns
Iowa State is facing challenges on its roster as well. Notably, key defensive tackle Domonique Orange is listed as doubtful. He has been a standout player, starting all seven games this season. The potential absence of Orange could significantly impact the Cyclones’ defensive capabilities, particularly against the run.

The Cyclones will also be without starting cornerbacks Jontez Williams and Jeremiah Cooper, both out for the season. With eight players currently sidelined, Iowa State’s depth will be significantly tested.
New Injury Reporting Guidelines
In accordance with Big 12 regulations, both BYU and Iowa State must provide daily injury reports leading up to the game. Players are classified as probable, questionable, doubtful, or out. This new policy enhances transparency regarding player availability, a shift from traditional practices that often kept injuries under wraps.
Both teams are now tasked with adhering to these guidelines in good faith. The change aims to provide a clearer picture for fans and coaching staff alike as they prepare for game day.
