Nebraska head coach Bo Pelini updated several injuries during his Monday press conference.

Pelini said that senior running back Ameer Abdullah and senior cornerback Josh Mitchell are fine after leaving Saturday’s win over Illinois early. Abdullah had a bruise near his knee and left the game Saturday night in the third quarter after topping the 200-yard mark.

Mitchell left the game Saturday after awkwardly making a tackle, and appearing to injure his hip. Pelini said both won’t be hindered for Saturday’s game with Michigan State.

“Ameer is fine,” Pelini said. “He could have finished the game. We thought it was a good time to get him some rest.”

As for junior linebacker David Santos, who missed last week’s game against Illinois with a leg injury, Pelini didn’t have an update on his status for this weekend’s game. He said Nebraska will need a practice or two to see how Santos responds before deciding his status for Michigan State.

“We’l know a little bit more today,” Pelini said. “He’s feeling a lot better. Until we have some practice this week, it’s hard to say.”
