Nebraska head coach Matt Rhule announced a few injuries that have popped up with his team over the last few days.
— Rhule confirmed that freshman JACK Maverick Noonan will be out for the season after injuring a knee. Rhule said Noonan’s injury wasn’t an ACL, and that the Elkhorn South grad will be back in six months. He’s expected to undergo surgery next week.
“He’ll be as good as new,” Rhule said.
— Wide receiver Marcus Washington returned from a broken hand on Monday, but landed awkwardly during a drill Rhule said. Washington is expected back on the field later this week, Rhule said.
— Wide receiver Zavier Betts is injured, Rhule said. Betts wasn’t seen on the field during Tuesday’s open media period. Rhule also said freshman wide receiver Malachi Coleman wasn’t on the practice field on Tuesday.
— Aside from Noonan and defensive lineman Brodie Tagaloa, Rhule said injured players are trending in the right direction.

The Nebraska football program held its eighth practice of fall camp Tuesday morning.
The first 20-25 minutes of practice at the Hawks Championship Center were open to the media to view. While no big judgements come from these open portions of practice, it does provide an opportunity for observations.
Before head coach Matt Rhule, offensive coordinator Donovan Raiola and a few select players show up for post-practice media availability, here are a few notes from Tuesday's practice:
>> Fans who pay attention will already know this, but it needs to be said again: Donovan Raiola is completely different in press conference settings than he is on the football field. Raiola, the offensive line coach, and his assistant, Aaron Coeling, both got after their guys hard on Tuesday and didn't hold back. Raiola's coaching was direct, loud and peppered colorful language.
>> "This is full speed! This is full speed!" and "Get your splits right! Get the splits right!" are just a couple of the quotes heard from Raiola on Tuesday.
>> Utah transfer offensive lineman Tyler Knaak was seen coaching up true freshman Brock Knutson, who had just gotten through a loud and direct coaching moment with Raiola. When Knaak was finished, he tapped Knutson on the helmet the the two got back to the blocking drills.
>> A scout from the Houston Texans was in attendance. His eyes were trained on the offensive line for much of the open session.
>> Running backs coach E.J. Barthel took Emmett Johnson to the side and was coaching the second-year back on his footwork on a punt return drill.
>> Receivers Billy Kemp IV and Isaiah Garcia-Castaneda, Johnson and true freshman corner Ethan Nation were seen fielding punts.
>> Receiver Joshua Fleeks, the Baylor transfer who Rhule said he sent home at the start of fall camp due to being significantly overweight, was back at practice. Fleeks was seen in highlights of the team's scrimmage from Saturday, so he's been back for multiple practices.
>> During a kickoff unit dill, special teams coordinator Ed Foley was heard screaming, "I wanna see the leverage here, let's go!"
>> Sticking on special teams, true freshman Cam Lenhardt was seen running down on the kickoff unit and looked very good running and hunting the returner.
>> With Josh Martin being promoted from special teams analyst to tight ends coach following Bob Wager's resignation, it appeared on Tuesday that offensive analyst Christian Ellsworth, a Grand Island Northwest alum, was acting as Martin's tight end assistant.
>> During a screen drill that involved only the quarterbacks and running backs, offensive coordinator Marcus Satterfield and Barthel were seen deliberating between each rep. After the talk, Satterfield showed the running backs how long to block for before taking off to the flat, where Barthel was. Once they got to their landmark (which was Barthel), they turned up field. The two coaches were working out the kinks on the timing play.
>> Over at the defensive line, Kai Wallin, a junior college addition, got a "perfect rep, perfect rep" from coach Terrance Knighton. After an Elijah Jeudy rep, Knighton was heard yelling "eyes in the B gap, eyes in the B gap — good" to the Texas A&M transfer.
>> After one blocking drill with the offensive line and fullbacks, Ron Brown was loving what he was seeing from both walk-ons Barret Liebentritt and Braden Klover. Liebentritt's name has come up often when coaches and players have talked about the traditional fullback role.
>> There were several players in different colored jerseys on Tuesday. Nouredin Nouili was in a green jersey and was doing light conditioning, but wasn't practicing with the team groups. That allowed Henry Lutovsky to play right guard with the first-team offensive line, along with Turner Corcoran at left tackle, Ethan Piper at left guard, Ben Scott at center and Bryce Benhart at right tackle.
>> There were several players in yellow jerseys who weren't practicing and limited to just conditioning. Those players included receiver Marcus Washington, offensive lineman Teddy Prochazka, tight end Arik Gilbert, safety Marques Buford Jr., receiver Jeremiah Charles, running back Kwinten Ives, linebacker Michael Booker III and tight end John Goodwin.
>> True freshman defensive lineman Jason Maciejczak was also in a yellow jersey, but was going through some of his position group's drills.

Opportunity knocks, as Matt Rhule explained it after Tuesday's practice. But the Husker head coach was also candid in saying Nebraska's wide receivers group is a position where some guys will need to emerge.
"Out of all the positions, that's where the most questions are right now for us on offense," he said. "We kind of know who the guys (are) who have played. But that (position group competition) remains to be seen."
Billy Kemp is a proven commodity and walk-on Alex Bullock seems to be an early fall camp potential riser.
But there have been some setbacks early in camps too. Marcus Washington came back from a broken hand injury this week, but landed awkwardly shortly after his return. There was fear it cold be pretty bad but the good news is the Husker head coach expects him back later this week.
Zavier Betts and Malachi Coleman, who was on the field Monday, also weren't available on Tuesday. The Huskers hope that position to be more fully stocked soon and past some injuries/flu bugs, but it was a thinner group on this particular day. (For what it's worth, nobody on the roster has been ruled out going into the season except for Brodie Tagaloa and Maverick Noonan).
"I think it's a really good opportunity for our guys," Rhule said of young wideouts trying to get in the mix. "Receivers, all along, it was, 'Hey, who are going to be the guys?' There's not a lot of returning production. When Marcus was healthy ... it was really a big thing for us. I think there's a lot of opportunities for other guys to step up and play, right? Everybody says they want to play as a freshman but it's really hard to do. Especially in today's day and age where you're so distracted, you have to know how to learn."
Rhule mentioned first-year freshmen Jaylen Lloyd and Jaidyn Doss as getting some of those opportunities.
"We'll see where they're at. They're trending in the right direction," he said. "Billy (Kemp) is a guy who is unbelievably productive. Alex Bullock is having a really, really good camp. You guys know how I feel about Alex. And a lot of other guys. So a lot of guys are taking care of their moment."

Questions remain at receiver, but Rhule says it's also an opportunity for young Huskers

Receiver
Gilbert didn't play in 2021 and played like 3 games in 2022. hoping that helps us somewhat.

the rules are way different this fall than in the past. I doubt this guy has a case anything like Gilbert's anyway. The number of games played at another school means literally nothing.

When do you think we find out about Gilbert?

I think what you say is he already sat out once on a transfer, so should still have one freebie available. 🤷♂️
