huskers1 Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 There is an article on huskerpedia that says three notable players not at fan day and one of them was Chris Williams. Does anyone have any info on this as to why he wasn't there? I thought I heard he was active in summer drills but I'm not sure. God, I hope he is ok! Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 The World Herald mentioned that his knee is still bothering him, but it didn't sound like a big deal. Quote Link to comment

Bosnian_Husker77 Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 i dnt understand why he couldnt be there for fan day if its just bothering him.. oh well. hopefully he'll recover soon Quote Link to comment
rkhufu7 Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 i dnt understand why he couldnt be there for fan day if its just bothering him.. oh well. hopefully he'll recover soon Hopefully he can redshirt and get his knee back to 100% for 2010!!! Noit smart to waste a year on a kid that is no where near 100%!!! Quote Link to comment

knapplc Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 i dnt understand why he couldnt be there for fan day if its just bothering him.. oh well. hopefully he'll recover soon It's a roster issue. They can only have 105 guys on roster. If he's hurt it's not worth putting him on the roster when you've got half a bazillion walk-ons looking for a spot. Quote Link to comment

If he's hurt it's not worth putting him on the roster when you've got half a bazillion walk-ons looking for a spot. that is correct. he is not on the 105 man roster because the coaching staff does not want to put him out there until his knee is at 100% he will join the rest of the team when classes begin Quote Link to comment
Danimal Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 Only guys in the 105 can practice before school starts. His knee is still hinky, he won't be out there against FAU, won't even be practicing full-bore. There are other guys that can use the practice more. Quote Link to comment
