Already, questions abound about Washington’s offense.
Now, a new one: How badly hurt is Jake Browning’s throwing shoulder?
Immediate after the Huskies’ 26-20 loss to Oregon late Saturday, UW coach Chris Petersen said he believed that Browning would not be sidelined for an extended period. But Petersen didn’t sound convinced, or convincing, when asked about the extent of the quarterback’s injury.
“I don’t think so,” Petersen said, “but I hope not. I really don’t.”
It appeared that Browning, a true freshman, was injured late in the fourth quarter when he was sacked from behind by Oregon’s Tyson Coleman, with Browning’s right shoulder jammed into the artificial turf.
