For the first time Wednesday evening, the BYU Cougars football program released an injury report as part of the Big 12 Conference's new initiative this season.
Utah released its first injury reports last week — and ended up getting plenty of flak for it this week — while Wednesday was the first time 25th-ranked BYU has done so. Conference games are the only ones in which reports are mandated and the Utes opened conference play last weekend, while the Cougars will do so this weekend.
For BYU, Wednesday's injury report is broken down as follows:
OUT:
Cornerback Jonathan Kabeya
Wide receiver Jojo Phillips
Running back Sione Moa
Linebacker Choe Bryant-Strother
QUESTIONABLE:
Running back Logan Payne
Defensive end Kinilau Fonohema

Safety Faletau Satuala
Running back Enoch Nawahine
Tight end Ethan Erickson
Defensive tackle Justin Kirkland
For Utah, Wednesday's injury report is broken down as follows:
OUT
Safety Rabbit Evans
Wide receiver Daidren Zipperer
Tight end Hunter Andrews
Safety Josh Sovereign
Offensive lineman Isaiah Garcia

In addition to Wednesday's injury report, Big 12 teams are required for Saturday games to release injury reports on Thursday evening, again on Friday evening and again 90 minutes before their game's kick off on Saturdays.
Both the Cougars and the Utes will be on the road this Saturday, with the Cougars set to face the Colorado Buffaloes and the Utes scheduled to play the West Virginia Mountaineers .
