Logs 43 receiving yards
Bernard (ankle) logged three receptions for 43 yards during Washington's 42-33 win Saturday at Stanford.
ANALYSIS
Bernard proved his ankle injury is now something of the past. With how mobile and effective the receiver was Saturday, he is expected to be a legitimate option again during November. Back in September, Bernard logged 253 all-purpose yards (231 receiving and 22 rushing) and three touchdowns (one receiving and two rushing) across his five games.

Warming up Saturday
Bernard (ankle) is in uniform and is warming up ahead of Saturday's game at Stanford, Mike Vorel of The Seattle Times reports.
ANALYSIS
Bernard is catching punts in uniform during early warmups, a promising sign for his chances to play Saturday. He is still a game-time decision, so his status will likely be determined by how his ankle feels while warming up.

Game-time decision Saturday

Seems questionable at best
Bernard (ankle) is likely questionable for the Huskies' game Saturday at Stanford, Lars Hanson of Sports Illustrated reports.
ANALYSIS
Among the Huskies' receivers, Bernard and Jalen McMillan (Undisclosed) are their only ones injured. But while associate head coach Ryan Grubb seemed optimistic on McMillan, the same could not be said about Bernard, thus his questionable projection for Saturday.

Won't play Saturday
Bernard (ankle) is not suited up and appears set to sit out Saturday's game versus Arizona State, Lars Hanson of Sports Illustrated reports.
ANALYSIS
Bernard came away from last Saturday's win over Oregon with an ankle injury that hampered him during the following week of practice. It appears the Michigan State transfer will now miss his first game of the season. Over six games, the sophomore has caught 17 passes for 231 yards and a touchdown. His next chance to play will arrive at Stanford on Saturday, Oct. 28.

Questionable vs ASU
Coordinator Ryan Grubb indicated Monday that Bernard is questionable for Saturday's game against Arizona State, Mike Vorel of The Seattle Timesreports.
ANALYSIS
Grubb also indicated Bernard suffered an ankle injury during last week's victory over Oregon and was hobbling during practice. The sophomore wide receiver logged eight snaps and did not record a single catch. The 6-foot-1 pass-catcher has totaled 18 receptions for 242 yards and one touchdown. With fellow receiver Jalen McMillan expected to miss time, he could be in line for a bigger role in the Huskies' offense.

Steps up with McMillan out
Bernard logged eight catches for 98 yards during Saturday's 31-24 victory against Arizona.
ANALYSIS
The Michigan State transfer got his chance to shine in the close win after minimal involvement to begin the season. Jalen McMillan's (undisclosed) absence was a big reason for Bernard's leap up the depth chart, and he took advantage. McMillan will have two weeks to heal, so his return will likely drive down Bernard's numbers.
