Quentin Moore injury update: Jedd Fisch reveals optimistic news on Washington TE after being carted off

Washington senior tight end Quentin Moore suffered an injury Saturday afternoon in the Huskies’ 24-7 loss to Michigan. The veteran was carted off the field during the first half and did not return to the game.

Prior to the injury, Moore was held without a reception. Over the course of his career, the Kenmore, WA native has hauled in 11 receptions for 120 yards and one touchdown.

“Q, from what I understand, is doing well in terms of obviously he’s moving all of his limbs and is fully cognizant and all the things we pray for,” Washington head coach Jedd Fisch said postgame. “It’s a case where we’ll just have to see what the full effect is of the injury.”

FOX’s Jenny Taft provided an update on Moore during the broadcast. She also provided insight on Michigan’s Evan Link, as the Wolverines offensive lineman was also carted off during the first half.

“It’s so hard when we see anyone carted off,” Taft said. “The update from Michigan’s Evan Link — he’s actually in the locker room right now, hoping to see his guys at the break. For Washington, we just saw Quentin Moore. I can tell you he did have movement when he was taken off the field.”

Moore has dealt with injuries before across his lengthy career, as he actually suffered a season-ending knee injury in Washington‘s season-opener against Weber State last year. He will forever be remembered around the program for catching the game-winning touchdown in Washington‘s 34-31 win over Oregon in the 2023 Pac-12 Championship Game.

Michigan holds Washington scoreless in second half in 24-7 win

Washington entered Saturday’s game with a 5-1 record, with its lone loss coming to No. 1 Ohio State. It is now 5-2 with five games remaining in the season.

Defense dominated early, as both teams were held nearly scoreless through the first quarter. Michigan broke the seal thanks to a 22-yard passing touchdown from Bryce Underwood to wide receiver Andrew Marsh with 33 seconds remaining in the first. This lead didn’t last for long however, as Washington running back Jonah Coleman found the end zone right before halftime to tie the game at seven apiece.

The second half was dominated by Michigan however. Marshall broke the 7-7 tie with a 14-yard touchdown run near the end of the third quarter, and the Wolverines made it a two-possession game thanks to a 10-yard passing touchdown from Underwood to tight end Zack Marshall early in the fourth quarter. Kicker Dominic Zvada then drilled a 26-yard field goal with 4:10 remaining, cementing the 24-7 win for the team in blue and maize.
