Possible return in October
Russell (lower leg) could potentially return to the field in October, Syracuse head coach Fran Brown said Thursday, according to David Hale of ESPN.com.
ANALYSIS
Russell has been running hitch routes in sneakers, making it apparent that he is recovering well from his April surgery. While an October return target would sideline him for the early portion of the season, it means he could rejoin the receiving corps midseason and still have a chance to suit up for the 2026 season.
