Nebraska vs. Ohio State injury report
Nebraska injury report
The Nebraska Cornhuskers are dealing with a handful of injuries, but some key starters have their names on the injury report. Let's take a look at who's not at 100 percent as the Cornhuskers prepare for one of their toughest games of the season.
Rahmir Johnson, RB
Running back Rahmir Johnson has been dealing with a concussion and is not going to be activated for this Week 9 Big Ten Conference game.
He has 38 rushing attempts for 153 yards (4.0 yards per carry) this season and is also a threat in the passing game, with 19 catches for 165 yards (8.7 yards per reception) and a receiving touchdown.
Turner Corcoran, LT
Starting left tackle Turner Corcoran is dealing with an undisclosed injury heading into this matchup and is questionable against Ohio State. He plays a significant role, as he protects Dylan Raiola's blind side as well as keeping the edge rusher away from the backfield.
Tristan Alvano, K
Kicker Tristan Alvano remains on the injury report heading into the upcoming game. He hasn't been on the field since Sept. 14 due to a groin injury.
Alvano is listed as questionable. He has done well, going 3-of-4 on field goals and has knocked down all 12 extra-point chances this season.
Ohio State injury report
The Ohio State Buckeyes are a bit healthier than the Cornhuskers. Let's take a look at the two biggest players for the program who have their names on the injury report for Week 9.
Tyleik Williams, DT
It appears that the undisclosed injury senior defensive tackle Tyleik Williams is not going to be a question, as he has played in the last two games. Williams has been doing a decent job this season, with 16 total tackles (13 solo, three assisted) and 1.5 sacks in four games.
Donovan Jackson, LG
Like Tyliek Williams, senior left guard Donovan Jackson was dealing with an undisclosed injury. He suffered a left hamstring injury a few weeks ago but returned to the field last week against the Oregon Ducks. He plays a critical role in keeping senior quarterback Will Howard upright.
