Ameer Abdullah was injured at the beginning of the game last week at home. He got just about the best news he could receive when they told him it was a slight injury to his knee. It would take about 2 weeks of recovery but he would be back for the game at Wisconsin. As the Huskers approach game day on Saturday, Abdullah's status is no longer for sure. Ameer did not practice the entire bye week.
Before this injury, he was mentioned as the leading candidate for the Heisman Award. Unfortunately, after a week of not playing, and then a bye week, his name is not being mentioned near as much.
Nebraska rushed for a season low against Purdue without Abdullah so having him back against the Badgers will help impact the team greatly. At this point in the season, Nebraska is ranked 11 in the AP and is on pace to play Auburn in a bowl game. It is vital that the Huskers keep Abdullah healthy and make sure he plays to the best of his ability.
