- USC receiver will miss the remainder of 2026 football season
USC football will be without one of its receivers for the remainder of the 2026 season. Corey Simms will not be able to return, which was first reported by Matt Zenitz of CBS Sports.
Simms' 2026 season never really took off. Simms had begun to make an impact for the Trojans . He worked his way into the receiver rotation and gained confidence while Trent Mosley was out with an injury, creating an opportunity for Simms to play more.

Simms' absence deprives USC of a bona fide weapon for Jayden Maiava, and if other receivers suffer injuries later this season, Simms' unavailability could become a problem for the Trojans.
However, among USC's position groups, wide receiver is one of the deeper units. Mosley will not be back for the Washington game, but he could be back for Penn State on Oct. 10 and should definitely be available for Wisconsin on Oct. 24. Kayden Dixon-Wyatt, Terrell Anderson, Tanook Hines, Boobie Feaster and other pass catchers give USC and Maiava options.
Simms made real contributions to USC, and so his loss deprives the Trojans of a productive playmaker. However, there are other players in the wide receiver room who can fill in for Simms and ensure the passing game does not take a meaningful hit.
