Stanford left tackle Walker Little will miss the next month recuperating from a dislocated knee suffered in the No. 23 Cardinal’s 17-7 win over Northwestern, David Shaw announced Tuesday.
The Houston native was a First Team All-Pac-12 performer as a sophomore in 2018 and entered 2019 with All-America and Outland Trophy aspirations.

The bad news doesn’t end there, though. Stanford also announced quarterback KJ Costello is questionable this weekend after taking a blow to the head in the first half of Saturday’s contest.

Shaw said it will likely be a Thursday or Friday decision on Costello. If he cannot play, the Cardinal will turn to Davis Mills; he was 7-of-14 for 81 yards in Costello’s stead on Saturday.
