Nebraska Injury Report: 5 Players Out vs. Purdue
The Nebraska Cornhuskers (3-1, 0-1) have released their availability report for Saturday’s Big Ten matchup against the Purdue Boilermakers (1-2, 0-0). Five players are ruled out, including kicker Tristan Alvano, who was questionable last week but did not play in the game against Illinois.
