Eastern Michigan will be without three front-line defensive backs, and potentially a first-year transfer tight end, for the upcoming Washington game. EMU’s reported player availability sheet lists Joshua Scott, Bryce Llewellyn, and Dramarian McNulty as out, and tight end Hans Lillis as questionable against Washington.

The Mid-American Conference became the second league in FBS football to establish an availability reports policy ahead of its football games. The Big Ten was the first league to have one in 2023, then the MAC formally announced its policy last week.
