Matt Rhule names double-digit Nebraska football players out for spring with injuries

Lincoln — Nebraska’s spring practice will proceed without more than a dozen Huskers after head coach Matt Rhule confirmed Thursday that the group will be held out while rehabbing injuries. While Rhule did not specify which players are affected, the double-digit absence creates immediate depth-chart questions as the program begins its off-season workouts. The announcement comes as Nebraska looks to build on the momentum generated during its Las Vegas Bowl appearance against Utah on Dec. 31, 2025, and will force younger roster members into expanded reps throughout the spring session.
