Willingham: Locker likely done for season

SEATTLE – Washington coach Tyrone Willingham says injured quarterback Jake Locker is likely out for the rest of the season.

Locker broke his right thumb on Sept. 27. For weeks, Willingham left open the possibility Locker could return, but Monday said the quarterback won’t play against Washington State in the Apple Cup on Saturday and is likely out against California on Dec. 6.

Locker had surgery last Friday to remove stabilizing plates from his thumb.

“I would probably lean to say no to that,” Willingham said when asked if Locker could return for the Cal game. “Again, we don’t know, but at this time based on the information I have, it’s probably not the right move to make right now.”

Matt Mosley, who suffered an undisclosed knee injury Saturday, is likely out this week. Defensive tackle Senio Kelemete, who has missed the past four games with a knee injury, is expected to return this week. Tailback Terrance Dailey, who was limited by a hip injury last week, is expected to be at full strength this week.
