Final injury report for Nebraska vs. Rutgers revealed


The final injury report for a contest between Nebraska and Rutgers is out on Saturday, and one team will be dealing with a significantly larger number of injuries.

Nebraska enters the game relatively healthy, sporting just two on the injury report, though both will be out for the game.

Rutgers has nearly a dozen players on the injury report, on the other hand, including a pair of season-ending injuries. One of those injuries was revealed on Saturday shortly before the game, with offensive lineman Bryan Felter out for the game. More on that below.

You can view the complete injury report for both teams below.

Rutgers OL Bryan Felter out for season

Without Felter, the Rutgers offensive line will have to regroup ahead of the biggest game of the season. Head coach Greg Schiano knows going to Lincoln to try and stay undefeated is a monumental task.

Especially for his offensive line to provide running lanes and pass protection.

“Defensively, I think their defensive line is stout,” Schiano said Monday. “Robinson, 9, and then 0 and 1, I think it’s Butler and I don’t know if I’ll say this right, Hutmacher, those three guys, as physical as you’re going to see. The linebackers, we kind of know one of them, he’s an Irvington kid that we recruited, really good player in Gbayor, and then I think the secondary is really well-coached. I mean, they play together. They play — you can see they know what they are doing with the scheme.

“So I think their defense is one of the better ones in America, and they certainly understand what their defensive coordinator wants them to do. Tony is a heck of a coach, and I think that it’s a well-coached team. It’s a talented team and we are going to play them in a very, very tough place to play.”

On3’s Nick Kosko also contributed to this report.
