The Huskers’ lone draft pick from the 2017 NFL Draft found himself receiving bad news on Saturday.

The Philadelphia Eagles announced that they had cut former Husker safety Nate Gerry. Gerry, who played safety at Nebraska, had been making the transition to outside linebacker, but was sidelined by a hamstring injury midway through the preseason.

Gerry missed the team’s preseason finale, and recorded four tackles during the preseason. It’s likely that Gerry will end up on the Eagles’ practice squad.

It was a dark day for several Huskers, as Terrell Newby was cut by the Minnesota Vikings, Stanley Jean-Baptiste was waived by the Jaguars and Sam Cotton was cut by the New England Patriots. Tight end Cethan Carter learned he had made the Bengals 53-man roster.
