Washington will be at full strength for this Saturday’s matchup against Oregon.

According to ESPN’s Pete Thamel, the Huskies will get back wide receiver Giles Jackson and safety Asa Turner for this game.

“Sources: Washington will get two key players back against Oregon. Senior WR Giles Jackson, who started 5 games last year, is expected to play for the first time this year,” Thamel announced on social media. “Senior safety Asa Turner will return after an upper body injury against Tulsa on Sept 9. Neither will start.”

Last season, Jackson had 28 receptions for 328 yards and a touchdown. He’ll join a receiving corps that is being led by Romeo Odunze and Ja’Lynn Polk.

Turner, meanwhile, has racked up 126 tackles and six interceptions throughout his time at Washington.
