Greg Austin Injury Update

"Information from HuskerExtra.com"

STILLWATER, Okla. — Nebraska senior left guard Greg Austin’s right knee has slowed him since he injured it during his freshman season.

Now his left knee is a concern.

The 6-foot-1, 295-pound native of suburban Houston probably won’t play this coming week against Missouri and likely will be questionable for Nebraska’s Nov. 11 game at Texas A&M, said the player’s brother.

Tyrone Austin said his brother suffered stretched ligaments in his left knee early in the fourth quarter of Saturday’s loss to Oklahoma State. The family originally feared a ligament tear.

Greg Austin left the game and didn’t return. After the loss was in the books, he accepted hugs from family members and went to the team bus with the aid of crutches.

With Kurt Mann still recovering from mononucleosis — he played in a reserve role Saturday — Austin is Nebraska’s only senior starter on the line.
