np_husker Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 Burkhead back in pads: Nebraska true freshman running back Rex Burkhead returned to practice Wednesday, five weeks after he suffered a hairline fracture in his foot. http://www.huskerextra.com/articles/2009/1...49928567698.txt Quote Link to comment
Enhance Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 Great to have him back. Hopefully that foot healed perfectly and he can get back into some sort of rhythm. Quote Link to comment
CENTEXHUSKER Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 Meh, I hope it isn't premature..... Quote Link to comment
UGAHusker Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 Ever since what happened to old Spano is my Man-o a few months back, I'll be worried about guys coming back too early. Hopefully, the staff will wait until he's REALLY ready. Quote Link to comment
carlfense Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 Woohoo! Outstanding news. Quote Link to comment
cscott2win Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 That's great news. I really enjoy his game. We'll probably see him against the Buffs a little bit to get him ready for Texas (not getting ahead of myself) if the Huskers beat K State this week. Quote Link to comment
BigRedMan Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 So could he play this week? Quote Link to comment
HuskerTrucker Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 I wouldn't expect them to throw him into the mix 100% right off. Hopefully he can contribute more maybe in Colorado or hopefully at the Big XII Championship game if we beat K-State. This is good news. Quote Link to comment
Drowning_in_the_Sea_of_Red Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 Good to have him back out there. I'd be shocked if he played this week. Quote Link to comment
TheEvilBeak Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 He won't play until the Bowl game. Quote Link to comment
huskerswrkhavoc Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 He won't play until the Bowl game. says who? Pelini said awhile back that there was potential for him to play in colorado... so if we win saturday, he could be ready for the Big 12 title game... Quote Link to comment
irafreak Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 He's probably going to have to get back into cardio shape. Hard to run or use the cycle with a broken foot. Quote Link to comment
dstorm Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 WOW!! I hope he's ready to go Quote Link to comment
Enhance Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 There might be a difference between Burkhead being ready to practice and ready to play. They may not be willing to throw him into a game time situation yet because the foot isn't 100%. Quote Link to comment
Fuzzy Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 hairline fracture? correct me if im wrong but thats different from a broken foot. Quote Link to comment
