Nebraska football finished up practice preparations on Thursday. Head coach Mike Riley ran through a laundry list of injuries for the Huskers and how they plan to address them going forward.

- Freedom Akinmoladun is out for Saturday’s game and possibly a few more after having his knee scoped this week. Akinmoladun had emerged for the Huskers as a defensive end when Jack Gangwish went down with an injury against BYU.

- Vincent Valentine has practiced the last couple days and could play for the Huskers on Saturday. The junior’s presence would allow the Huskers to bump Greg McMullen back out to defensive end, where the Huskers are thin.

- Some defensive linemen who might see time on Saturday because of the injuries include Sedrick King, A.J. Natter, Logan Rath and Mick Stoltenberg. The Huskers are without several members along the line, so some younger guys could see their first opportunity.

- Linebackers Michael Rose-Ivey and Josh Banderas are each expected to miss Saturday’s game as well.

- Nebraska plans to dress freshman running back Jordan Stevenson on Saturday for the Wisconsin game. It’ll be the first time Stevenson has dressed all year and Riley said the staff likes the idea of having an extra returner on the roster. He doesn’t yet have the starting role. He was still working with scout team at running back earlier this week.
