Impact Matthews missed last week's game versus Nebraska due to injury. However, it sounds like 5-foot-11 wideout will have a good opportunity to play against Nebraska on Saturday. In four games this season, Matthews has tallied 17 receptions for 198 yards and two touchdowns.

Not dressed to face Nebraska Matthews (undisclosed) is not dressed and won't play Saturday against Nebraska, according to Evan Gerike.

Impact The Hoosiers will be depleted when it comes to their offensive depth, as the losses of both Matthews and Cam Camper suggest Indiana won't have two of their top targets. Matthews has caught 17 of his 27 targets for 198 yards and two touchdowns. His next chance to play will come against Michigan on Oct. 8.

Status up in the air for Saturday Matthews (undisclosed) is labeled as day-to-day prior to Saturday's game against Nebraska, Zach Osterman of The Indianapolis Star reports.

Impact Although Matthews' Week 5 availability remains up in the air, head coach Tom Allen said the 160-pound receiver's injury isn't long-term, per Osterman. Through the team's first four games, Matthews has caught 17 of his 27 targets for 198 yards and two touchdowns, though this production sits second behind transfer wideout Cam Camper (33-60-418-1) over this span. If Indiana is forced to operate without their second-leading wideout, Javon Swinton and Emery Simmons are in line to take on expanded roles Saturday against the Cornhuskers.

AUGUST 19, 2022 • INDYSTAR.COM

On track for Week 1 Indiana coach Tom Allen said Friday that Matthews (knee) is expected to be ready for the team's regular-season opener against Illinois on Aug. 2, Jared Kelly of 247Sports reports.

Impact Matthews did not practice this spring while recovering from a season-ending torn ACL suffered just four games into the 2021 regular season late last September. The sixth-year wideout is still working his way back in fall camp, with Allen providing additional clarification Friday that "it's still a progression" and "more than anything, it's just the load that he's able to handle." Matthews was on pace for a career season in 2021, catching 13 of his 18 targets for 165 yards while adding two additional touchdowns as a rusher and punt returner, and he should play a prominent role in the Hoosiers' offense this coming season.
