Arizona wide receiver Giovanni Richardson and backup tight end Shane King are both active for the Wildcats' Big 12 home opener against Cincinnati.
Richardson and King were removed from Friday’s Big 12 availability report after initially being ruled as questionable.
Richardson, who was Arizona's leading receiver before suffering a leg injury in the first quarter at No. 15 BYU, will play for the first time after missing the Northern Illinois and Washington State games. Richardson has 14 catches for 161 yards in five quarters this season.
King, who caught his first touchdown against BYU, missed the Wildcats' 34-24 win over Washington State. With tight end Cole Rusk and King out last week, tight end Tyler Powell logged 75 offensive snaps against Washington State. Rusk is out for the second straight game this week.
