Oregon State starting TE Brady Camp was declared out for Saturday’s game at Washington, coach Mike Riley said after Wednesday’s practice.

Camp has been bothered by a bruised back that hit a nerve from the Oct. 2 Arizona State game. He missed last week’s game at Arizona.

John Reese and Colby Prince will share the position again.

New starting WR Markus Wheaton has been slowed by a bruised knee. He was limited in practice, but should be available for the game. Wheaton said returning kickoffs take a lot out of him.

“He has a little swelling on the knee,” Riley said. “There’s nothing (big) there. His knee has been checked out, and it came from a bruise.”

C Alex Linnenkohl (ankle) aggravated his injury and missed the second half of practice. OG Grant Johnson (neck) took it easy. He has a big neck brace on his pads now.

DE Dominic Glover has moved into the starting role for Taylor Henry. Henry had been slowed by a back injury from training camp and hasn’t gotten on track, yet.

“It’s what we needed him to do, to step up and have a chance to have more guys playing,” Riley said of Glover. “I think he’s playing better and better all the time.”

Overall, it was a ragged practice for the offense. Offensive coordinator Danny Langsdorf wasn’t happy with the offensive line in particular.

“We threw a lot of blitzes at them and we weren’t exactly clean picking them up,” Riley said. “We need a sharp day tomorrow to feel good about that.”
