LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Nebraska coach Bo Pelini says linebacker Will Compton is “day to day” with an injured right foot and that cornerback Alfonzo Dennard continues to improve from his strained right leg muscle.
Compton hurt his foot early in the opener against Chattanooga on Saturday. Pelini said Monday there are no fractures or structural damage. Trevor Roach filled in for Compton and made seven tackles in his first college game.
Dennard hasn’t practiced since getting hurt Aug. 17. Pelini said Dennard is getting closer to being ready to play, but he didn’t know whether he would be available this week against Fresno State.
