Henry Boyer - Going through warmups Friday Boyer (undisclosed) is going through warmups ahead of Friday's game against Nebraska, Jeremy Werner of 247Sports.com reports.

Impact The fact that Boyer is going through warmups is an encouraging sign of his potential availability for this Friday matchup. Either way, Boyer is expected to operate as a backup in a best-case scenario, so he's not going to play much of a role even if deemed available.

Henry Boyer - Questionable to play Friday Boyer (undisclosed) is questionable for Friday's game against Nebraska.

Impact Boyer isn't expected to play a prominent role in the passing attack, but now it seems he might not be available to step on the gridiron at all. If Boyer can't go, then Nate Guinn and Tanner Hollinger would be in line to see more snaps as the backups of the starting tight end, Tanner Arkin.

Aidan Laughery - Not on injury report Laughery (undisclosed) is not on the injury report for Friday's game at Nebraska.

Impact Laughery was already listed as probable, so it's not surprising to see him being listed as available for this Big Ten matchup against Nebraska. Laughery will add depth in the backfield, but he's expected to operate as the backup of Kaden Feagin.

SEPTEMBER 18 • DATA SKRIVE

Zakhari Franklin - Moderate showing in victory Franklin had five receptions (on eight targets) for 66 yards during Saturday's 30-9 win versus Central Michigan.

Impact Franklin's yardage and reception totals were each good for second on the team during Saturday's win over the Chippewas. The senior receiver has now recorded back-to-back games with five or more receptions and over 60 yards, indicating that his role within the Illinois offense can produce a semi-reliable floor, though his lack of touchdowns to start the season is reason for concern. Franklin will look to find the end zone against Nebraska in the Fighting Illini's conference opener on Saturday.

SEPTEMBER 17 • ROTOWIRE

Pat Bryant - Scores twice in victory Bryant gathered in 7 of 9 targets for 102 yards and two touchdowns during Saturday's 30-9 victory versus Central Michigan.

Impact It was an electric day for Bryant as he crossed the century mark in yardage for the first time this season and found the end zone twice. An 11-yard strike from quarterback Luke Altmyer opened up the scoring in the first quarter, and the senior receiver followed it up with a 20-yard touchdown grab in the third quarter to give the Fighting Illini a 14-point lead. The day was encouraging all-around for Bryant as he led the team in targets and receptions, and he will look to continue his positive momentum heading into Saturday's matchup against Nebraska.
