Nebraska head coach Mike Riley said Tuesday that senior wide receiver Jordan Westerkamp and senior tight end Cethan Carter are doubtful for the Huskers’ next game against Indiana on Oct. 15.

“I don’t think Jordan and Cethan will make it for the next game, but possibly for the game after that, Riley said. “After a 10-day period, it will be how they feel and with what they have, if they are able to perform pain-wise. It's going to be a little while before we can tell when they might be back."

Carter was injured the first quarter of Nebraska’s win over Illinois, while Westerkamp left the game in the second half with a lower back injury.

“It was an injury to his back. Right now, everything is very sore and tight,” Riley said of Westerkamp. “It’s going to be a matter of how quickly it loosens up, how much better he can feel in a certain amount of time. I think that’s going to take some time. We’re just glad it wasn't any worse than that, and it appears he will be back relatively soon.”

Riley said Nebraska is hopeful that guard Tanner Farmer and wide receiver Alonzo Moore will return for the next game. Farmer missed the game with a high-ankle sprain, while Moore has continued to battle a shoulder issue.

"We're hopeful they'll be ready," Riley said.

Riley said running back Devine Ozigbo sprained his ankle in the win over Illinois and likely won't practice this week. Nebraska will practice three times on its bye week, starting Tuesday before giving players the weekend off.

"When we come back on Sunday we'll know how good of shape he will be in to get ready for the game," Riley said.

“If we were going to have a bye, this was going to be a good time for us,” Riley said.
