Wednesday night’s initial availability report was published ahead of Indiana’s week six trip to Nebraska and Hoosier fans should not be as anxious as they were last week.
The only new injury for the Hoosiers is an injury to starting tight end Andrew Barker who got dinged up against Rutgers. IU leaned on true freshman Trevor Gibbs for much of the game last week. Khobie Martin and Carson Williams remain out, while Lebron Bond was upgraded from out to questionable.
It is more notable who is not on the report as IU looks to get cornerback AJ Harris back after the starting corner was injured just seven snaps into the season. Harris was expected to play a major role on the defense this season.
For Nebraska it looks like freshman running back Jamal Rule will be back this week and Jacory Barney will be a full go after being a game time decision last week.
Thursday Update
The Thursday update had no changes for Indiana, but there were some for Nebraska. Tight end Carter Nelson and linebacker Gage Stenger have been upgraded to questionable, while a new name in Riley Van Poppel emerged as questionable. Van Poppel has four tackles for loss and two sacks this year.
