Washington's Rome Odunze Reveals He Suffered Broken Rib, Punctured Lung vs. Arizona

Washington wide receiver Rome Odunze told reporters Wednesday that he suffered a broken rib and punctured lung while recovering an onside kick against Arizona on Sept. 30.

That matchup, which resulted in a 30-24 road win for the Huskies, took place in Tuscon. Per Mike Vorel of the Seattle Times, Odunze also said he was at a local hospital until 5 a.m. before his mother and two trainers took turns on a 23-hour drive back to Seattle.

Odunze did not miss any time due to the ailments. Following a bye week, he then caught eight passes for 128 yards and two touchdowns in a big 36-33 win over Oregon just 14 days after suffering the injuries.
