NEBRASKA CORNHUSKERS INJURY REPORT ARCHIVE 2012
Out For Year
|
|
| 10/17 | 3:23pm | Jared Crick | DT |  Out For Year | Pectoral | Crick suffered a torn pectoral muscle vs. Ohio State and will miss the remainder of the season. The senior finished with 22 tackles and one QB sack. Last year, Crick earned first team all-Big12 honors after recording 70 tackles and 9.5 sacks.
|
|
|
| 10/17 | 3:28pm | Jake Cotton | OL | Out For Year | Knee | Cotton suffered tears in both the ACL and MCL in one of his knees during practice and will miss the remainder of the season. The RS freshman backup played in three games this year. The Huskers have rotated as many as nine players during meaningful game action the past few weeks, so depth may not be an issue.
|
|
|
| 08/29 | 10:46pm | Charles Jackson | DB | Out For Year | Academics | Jackson has missed a lot of school already and coach Pelini said the incoming freshman will likely not enroll until January. He was not likely to see much playing time this fall.
|
| 08/27 | 10:01pm | Anthony Blue | CB | Out For Year | Knee | Blue has had a couple of season-ending knee injuries in his career and has decided to give up football altogether. The fifth-year senior did not play at all last season and was hoping to get back on track this summer.
|
|
|
| 08/19 | 10:27am | Bubba Starling | QB | Out For Year | Baseball | Big-time recruit and three-sport star Bubba Starling signed a major league contract with the Kansas City Royals earlier this week and will not play quarterback for the Cornhuskers.
|
| 08/04 | 11:09am | Cody Green | QB | Out For Year | Left Team | Green decided to transfer to Tulsa citing playing time as the main reason for his departure. The junior was likely not going to play too often behind Taylor Martinez. Sophomore Ron Kellogg will move up on the depth chart to backup Martinez. The Husker may only have two QBs on scholarship depending on what Bubba Starling does - he was drafted fifth overall by the Kansas City Royals.
|
| 08/04 | 11:02am | Kody Spano | QB | Out For Year | Multiple | Spano has decided to end his playing career due to several injuries but plans on being involved with the team signaling in plays. The junior has had knee problems in the past and took a significant injury to the shoulder this past spring. The Huskers could have just two QBs on scholarship at the beginning of the season.
