SEATTLE -- Washington quarterback Cody Pickett separated his right shoulder in the second quarter of the Huskies' 27-24 victory over Southern Cal on Saturday.
It was unknown if he will play next Saturday at UCLA.
Pickett returned for four plays in the second half before again being replaced by Taylor Barton because he was in too much pain, coach Rick Neuheisel said. Pickett was able to hold on kicks.
Neuheisel did not rule Pickett out for the showdown of Pac-10 unbeatens when the Huskies play the Bruins in the Rose Bowl.
"Pickett's a tough son of a gun," Neuheisel said. "If a guy can come back, Cody can."
Pickett was receiving treatment after the game and Neuheisel expected to know more today. Pickett hurt his throwing arm when linebacker Bobby Otani fell on him after he ran 13 yards. Pickett left the field and had X-rays in the training room.
