Penn State wide receiver Parker Washington will miss rest of season with injury

Parker Washington will miss the rest of the season with injury. Olu Fashanu and Joey Porter are expected to play in the final game against Michigan State. It's unknown if Hunter Nourzad will play next season or go pro. The team is having ongoing conversations with players. The final decision is not yet made. For now, the team's focus is on the game. Heavily-rated players are still deciding whether to return to the program or turn pro after the year. They are also deciding if they want to finish their degrees. Some analysts have already predicted that Fashesanu will be a first-round pick.

Penn State is ranked at No. 11 in the College Football Playoff committee's latest rankings. The Lions have a few chances to get a New Year's Six bowl bid, but they need help. They have only two wins over teams in top-25, against Purdue and Minnesota. If they don't get any help, they will probably play in Citrus Bowl. The best case scenario for Penn State would be a spot in Rose Bowl, if they beat No 2 Ohio State and No 3 Michigan.
