Working out pregame Christon (ankle) has been spotting warming up ahead of Friday's game against Boise State, Paul Garrison of East Village News reports.

Impact Christon looks like he has a chance to make his season debut for the Aztecs as they prepare for a showdown on the famous blue turf of Boise State. The 5-foot-10 senior running back, who has missed the first nine weeks of the season with an ankle injury, logged 98 carries for 378 yards last season, adding on 29 receptions for 201 yards and a touchdown through the air. It is unclear how involved Christon will be if he is able to return against Boise State.

Grabs eight receptions in OT loss Christon compiled 10 rushes for 35 yards and hauled in eight of nine targets for 76 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 32-24 overtime loss to Utah State.

Impact While Christon was out-carried 11-to-10 by Lucky Sutton on Saturday, the senior running back led the Aztecs with eight receptions out of the backfield, including a 10-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter, his first score on the campaign. Though Christon continues to see his rushing role decrease, his usage in the passing game could make him a viable option in San Diego State's backfield. He now has 462 all-purpose yards through nine games this season.

Likely out Saturday Christon is not expected to play Saturday against Stanford, Ryan Kartje of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Impact Christon likely wouldn't have a huge role on offense even if he was cleared for action, but it certainly seems like he's trending in the wrong direction. According to coach Clay Helton, Christon is "unable to be with team activities," which could indirectly refer to him dealing with COVID-19 protocols or something personal. In any event, he's unlikely to be available as a depth back option Saturday.
