Washington WR McClatcher out with broken ankle

Sep 25, 2017 - 8:07 PM Washington junior wide receiver Chico McClatcher will miss the rest of the season because of a broken ankle, Huskies coach Chris Petersen said at his Monday press conference.

McClatcher is the team's second-leading receiver with 10 catches for 128 yards.

He suffered the injury in a 37-10 victory at Colorado on Saturday, when a defender rolled into McClatcher's left leg as he was blocking on a run play.

No. 6 Washington (4-0, 1-0 Pac-12) plays at Oregon State on Saturday.

"I just feel really bad, like we all do, for Chico," Petersen said. "That's hard for guys who are playing well and work so hard ... but that's part of football.

"Nobody feels sorry for us, at all, outside of this building. Everybody else is throwing a party when they see Chico is not going to be out there. So the next guy better step up and that is going to come from multiple guys."

McClatcher, a 5-foot-7 slot receiver who never redshirted, has played in three games this season and would fit the criteria for receiving a medical redshirt for 2017, restoring his year of eligibility.

He caught 34 passes for 574 yards and five touchdowns last season.
