Holy incompetence, Batman.

I selfishly want him back at CB.  Would honestly rather see him sit to make sure he is 100%.  (I'm sure docs would know)  Wonder how rusty and out of shape he might be.  Whisky a tough team to come out against after a few months out. If Jones is back, I'm guessing Lee sits?

If Jones plays, I'm guessing it won't be full time yet.

If he can play I think he plays the whole time.   Foster came back last year unexpectedly and played the whole first game back I believe.

Even a few snaps has to be a confidence booster for the defense. A few more breaks for the guys out there may not be the worst thing either.

Great news. Get Kalu back and just maybe we have a secondary that is a strength.

Excellent news.  Even if CJ8 plays sparingly, he'll bring a nice jolt of energy.  Hopefully he can bring the good juju to rub off on Jackson and Lee.  I'll be curious as to how they manage the secondary.  As a lot folks here have mentioned, Reed is playing really well right now.  I'm not sure if it's feasible to run a bunch of nickel against Wisconsin with the way the Badgers run their offense.  This sets Nebraska's secondary up nicely going forward.

Hope he's able to play the whole game. I know he's on a "pitch count" but everything I've seen and read is he looks and feels 100% and as if he hasn't missed a beat. MIght take a series to get acclimated again but this is looking like the healthiest the defense has been all season. Should be fun to watch.

Someone on the radio last night (USC, I think) said what I was thinking: work him in in the red zone, where he doesn't have to cover as much ground.

God better grant us better QB pressure from the front line, too.

 

Step up, Almighty, make this win possible!

Hoping this works out.  But it seems like a pretty decent gamble.

 

Back on the shortest end of the recovery time and said to only be playing part of the game does not sound that healthy to me.

 

If he's not healthy enough to be playing the entire game, I'm not sure he should be out there.  If he's not healthy enough to do that, we're risking poor play at best and reinjury at worst.
