That makes me very happy.  The way he landed on his neck was terrifyingly.

Seriously, what the hell is Omar’s injury?  I tend to believe it’s an injury, because if it was something else they wouldn’t keep saying it,

I think.

I've heard so many different things with Manning, I don't know what to think. The last purported insider report I heard was "Don't count him out just yet, he could still see some action before the season is done." Official word from Frost is that there's some sort of nagging injury, but he might just be covering for Manning. I tend to believe that it may have been a combination of injury and personal issues that led to him falling behind, and he's slowly been trying to catch up on learning the offense & playbook.

He was on the side line the last home game.  If he's just behind mentally you still dress him just in case.  It could be a hammy or a groin issue.  Those can linger for a while and depending what type of person he is they can be more of a problem.

High ankle sprains are notorious for lingering too. Lots of seemingly mild stuff that can keep players out especially if he doesn't know the playbook great yet. Betts doesn't know the playbook well, but he's obviously explosive so you get him out there. If Manning is slowed by an injury and playbook issues no reason to dress him.

Word is both Mills and Thompkins will be available Saturday.  Both have simply been injured despite some rumors that Thompkins was in some sort of doghouse.

I threw my back out lifting weight last night.  I currently have the inablility to get off the toilet.

 

[Big Red Viking]

I would love to see Mills and Thompkins play and hopefully get to run the ball 

 

[BigRedBuster]

Any word on exactly what Farmer’s injury is?

DIsolcated Ankle

More Xrays and MRI's when back in town

That doesn't sound good.

How did he manage to that on his own fielding a punt in pre-game warm up?  Was it just a bad unlucky step?

 

[Gorillahawk]

It’s because Nebraska is used to playing on turf and not natural grass. Ask Lee Corso how much of a disadvantage that is!

 

[ColoradoHusk]

Purdue’s playing surface sucks. DPE broke a leg there a few years ago, and 3 players were carted off the field today.

@Canadian Fan

That field is garbage and many other conference teams would agree.  And it's not the first time a serious injury took down a Husker there.  Spencer Long and DPE(Blown out knee, albeit in a celebration leap) 

Just was back peddling to catch a punt and landed in a divot in an extremely bad way
