Zavier Betts - Heads to locker room Betts was seen slowly making his way to the locker room shortly before halftime after appearing to be injured in Saturday's game against Buffalo, Brian Christopherson of 247Sports....
Impact It's unclear what exactly happened to Betts but he had to go back to the locker room for further evaluation. The freshman wideout made the first start of his career Saturday and had two catches for 21 yards before exiting the game.
SEPTEMBER 11, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Zavier Betts - Getting starting nod Betts has been announced as a starter for Saturday's game against Buffalo, Sam McKewon of the Omaha World-Herald reports.
Impact Betts will fill in as a starter with Oliver Martin (undisclosed) and Omar Manning (foot) both missing out on the action. The freshman has tallied just one catch for 30 yards on three targets over his first two games but figures to be in line for a bump in playing time Saturday.
SEPTEMBER 11, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Travis Vokolek - Won't return Saturday Vokolek (undisclosed) will not be available for Saturday's game against Buffalo, Jimmy Watkins of the Omaha World-Herald reports.
Impact Vokolek was reported to be very close to returning to game action Friday but appears to need another week off to recover. He briefly took the field for warmups but won't suit up and could very well return in a big matchup against Oklahoma next week.
SEPTEMBER 11, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Oliver Martin - Slated to sit Saturday Martin (undisclosed) isn't expected to take the field Saturday versus Buffalo, Jimmy Watkins of the Omaha World-Herald reports.
Impact Martin is set for his second consecutive absence after totaling six catches for 103 yards and a touchdown on 11 targets in the opener. However, coach Scott Frost relayed Thursday that Martin is getting close to a return, so next week versus Oklahoma could be on the table.
SEPTEMBER 11, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Omar Manning - Not expected to play Manning has his foot in a boot and will not play in Saturday's game against Buffalo, Mitch Sherman of The Athletic reports.
Impact Manning started last week's game and had three receptions for 54 yards. It's unclear if he suffered the injury during the game or sometime during practice this past week but he'll be held out of action. Expect Samori Toure and Wyatt Liewer to be the primary pass catchers if Oliver Martin (undisclosed) is unable to go as well.

Travis Vokolek - Close to rejoining action Vokolek (undisclosed) is "very close" to returning to game action, Evan Bland of the Omaha World-Herald reports.
Impact Vokolek hasn't taken the field in the first two games but seems to still be in play for a potential return Saturday. More information on his status should surface when the team takes the field for warmups Saturday afternoon.
SEPTEMBER 10, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Oliver Martin - Close to return Coach Scott indicated Thursday that Martin is "very close" to returning but wouldn't expand on his status for Saturday's game, Evan Bland of the Omaha World-Herald reports.
Impact Martin's status should thus be considered questionable for Saturday's contest against Buffalo until further info surfaces. After tallying six catches for 103 yards and a touchdown on 11 targets in the opener versus Illinois, Martin was unable to play last week versus Fordham.

Samori Toure - Leads team in receiving Toure collected eight passes on a team-high 11 targets Saturday versus Fordham.
Impact Toure has a combined 16 targets between the first two contests and figures to be heavily involved in the offensive game plan for the Huskers moving forward. The team has a test this week versus Buffalo before a mammoth task versus Oklahoma in Week 3, where plenty of scoring will likely be required.
SEPTEMBER 7, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Markese Stepp - Leads backfield in blowout win Stepp recorded 101 rushing yards on 18 carries in Saturday's 52-7 win over Fordham.
Impact Stepp didn't get the first touches out of the backfield but did lead the group by double over his closest challenger in Sevion Morrison. This could bode well for his chances of taking hold of the lead spot on a permanent basis. It will be worth keeping an eye on Nebraksa's depth chart ahead of Week 2.
SEPTEMBER 7, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Sevion Morrison - Notches pair of touchdowns Morrison compiled nine carries for 3 1yars and a pair of touchdowns and hauled in one of his two targets for a loss of a yard Saturday versus Fordham.
Impact Morrison's nine touches were half of what Markese Stepp received on the day, but the freshman was the only one of him, Stepp and Gabe Ervin to find his way to pay dirt. While one of the scores came late in a blowout contest, the other was in the first half to give the Huskers a 24-7 lead. This could be a signal that Morrison will be utilized around the goal line this season, which could give him some added value even if he's not a bulk rusher.
