Colten Cole - Out for season Cole (undisclosed) is out for the remainder of the season, per the AAC availability report.

Impact Cole, a true freshman, will miss the remainder of the season due to an undisclosed injury. He appeared in each of the first three games of the season but did not record any offensive stats.

Ben Grice - Out Saturday Grice (undisclosed) is out for Saturday's game at ECU, per the AAC availability report.

Impact Grice will miss his first game of the season as he deals with an undisclosed injury. He commanded at least one target in each of his first five games this season so his presence will be missed on the Owls' offense.

17 HOURS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Davis Lane - Available for Week 6 Lane (undisclosed) is available for Saturday's game at East Carolina.

Impact Lane is among Rice's top receivers, so the Owls having him available on the road is big. Despite being one of their top wideouts, his output has been limited, with just two receptions for 11 yards this season.

17 HOURS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Jackson DeAtley - Good to go Saturday DeAtley (undisclosed) is out for Saturday's game at ECU, per the AAC availability report.

Impact DeAtley, who has not played in a game this season, is available for Saturday's contest. It's unlikely the true freshman will see much of the field though given his place on the depth chart.

18 HOURS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Jackson Ranucci - Available for Week 6 Ranucci (undisclosed) is available for Saturday's game at East Carolina.

Impact Ranucci will provide additional depth to Rice's receiver corps. The question is whether the Owls will need it, considering that him at a healthy state was not enough for him to earn playing time in September.

18 HOURS AGO • ROTOWIRE

James Falk - Questionable for Week 6 Falk (undisclosed) is questionable for Saturday's game at East Carolina.

Impact It is unknown why Falk has been tagged questionable going into Rice's upcoming game. He gives the Owls depth at their tight end position, though more so in blocking defenders than in receiving passes.

Chris 'The Bear' Fallica's College Football Week 6 Expert Picks, Best Bets

Jacurri Brown - Pair of scores in narrow loss Brown completed 6 of 14 passes for 88 yards during Saturday's 16-14 defeat against Texas-San Antonio. He also had 17 rushes for 96 yards with two touchdowns.

Impact Brown accounted for both of the Owls' scores Saturday, but it wasn't enough to put the team past UTSA. The quarterback has now scored on the ground in three consecutive games, bringing his season total to four touchdowns. He avoided turnovers, though he had a chance to lead a game-winning drive that stalled after he couldn't convert on a fourth-down play. He stood out as the leading rusher once again, outpacing other rushers by a wide margin. He will aim to lead the team back in the win column against East Carolina in Week 6.

Davis Lane - Sitting out Saturday Lane (undisclosed) won't suit up for Saturday's game versus UTSA, per the American availability report.

Impact Lane has missed the last pair of weeks due to injury as well, and he'll sit out his third straight contest Saturday. The senior has just two grabs to date but has largely played in just the opener before departing early in Week 2 versus Notre Dame.

OCTOBER 3 • ROTOWIRE

Jackson Ranucci - Out versus UTSA Ranucci (undisclosed) is out for Saturday's game against UTSA.

Impact Ranucci is set to miss another game as he hasn't played this season. The wideout will aim to recover and potentially make his season debut in Week 6 against East Carolina.

OCTOBER 3 • ROTOWIRE

Jackson DeAtley - Unavailable vs. UTSA DeAtley (undisclosed) is out against UTSA in Week 5.

Impact DeAtley is a reserve tight end buried on the Owls' depth chart, so this shouldn't have an impact on their offense against the Roadrunners.

OCTOBER 3 • ROTOWIRE

Colten Cole - Out vs. Roadrunners Cole (undisclosed) is out against UTSA on Saturday.

Impact The freshman tight end has yet to log a statistic for Rice, so his absence shouldn't impact the Owls' offense in the slightest.

OCTOBER 3 • ROTOWIRE

Owen Carter - Available versus UTSA Carter (undisclosed) is not listed on the injury report ahead of Saturday's game against UTSA.

Impact Carter was ruled out last week with an undisclosed issue but appears good to go Saturday after clearing the injury report. The wideout isn't expected to have a big role in the passing attack due to his standing on the depth chart.

OCTOBER 3 • ROTOWIRE

Preston Zinter - Good to go vs. UTSA Zinter (leg) is available against UTSA in Week 5.

Impact Zinter has yet to play this season, but the reserve tight end will be available should the Owls need him against the Roadrunners Saturday night.

OCTOBER 3 • ROTOWIRE

Max Mosey - Makes most of lone reception Mosey caught their only target for 40 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 38-24 defeat against Fresno State.

Impact Mosey hauled in his second reception of the season and took it all the way for a 40-yard score. That ended up being the wideout's only target of the game, though he has now logged a reception in two consecutive games. With Rice's offense relying on a heavy rushing attack, it will be hard for him to replicate the same production on a weekly basis.

SEPTEMBER 28 • ROTOWIRE

Ben Grice - Break out day against Fresno State Grice logged two receptions (on four targets) for 20 yards during Saturday's 38-24 loss versus Fresno State.

Impact Grice found success in the backfield Saturday after attempting only three carries for 12 yards in the Owls' season opener. The wideout rushed for an 88-yard touchdown to score the team's first points of the day, which accounted for the bulk of his production. He finished with seven carries and five targets, suggesting he will be utilized as a dual-threat option moving forward.

SEPTEMBER 28 • ROTOWIRE

Jacurri Brown - Excels on ground in defeat Brown completed 8 of 17 passes for 119 yards, one touchdown and one interception during Saturday's 38-24 defeat versus Fresno State. He also had 19 rushes for 141 yards with one to...

Impact Brown continues to be the focal point of the Owls' offense, accounting for two scores --one passing and one rushing -- against a tough Fresno State defense. The quarterback was one rushing attempt short of logging back-to-back games with at least 20 carries. He did end up committing two turnovers, with his first interception of the season on the Owls' first offensive possession and then a fumble later in the second half. With Quinton Jackson (undisclosed) out for the season, Brown's role is more vital than ever.

SEPTEMBER 28 • ROTOWIRE

Quinton Jackson - Out for season Jackson (undisclosed) will miss the rest of the 2026 season, per The Roost.

Impact Jackson suffered a significant injury during Rice's season opener against Houston Christian and has now been officially ruled out for the remainder of the season. The 5-foot-9 back had a solid performance prior to his injury and was expected to be a major contributor for the Owls heading into this season. D'Andre Hardeman and Tyvonn Byars are the likely candidates to lead the way for the Rice backfield.
