Huskers injuried

Callahan also adressed the media on the status of cornerback Donald DeFrand, who has suffered a fractured bone in his foot. DeFrand will undergo surgery and miss all of spring practice.

Running back Brandon Jackson was also sidelined mid-way through practice with a shoulder injury. Jackson’s status is currently unknown.

 
That sucks aboue DeFrand. Gotta be frustrating as a player.

I hope Jackson didn't tear something too bad.

 
The only consolation is that it happened in spring - they have the rest of the spring and all summer to rehab. Damn shame, still...

 
I read on another board that Defrand should be back by Fall, I think that was from Callahan. Brandon Jackson's injury was not discussed. All I know is it is a shoulder problem.

 
I just did a little research on the Lizfranc fracture. If the injury does not require surgery, return is possible in 4 months. With surgery, normally insertion of screws to keep the metacarpals in place the recovery period is much longer. Anywhere from 10 to 12 months, and there is question about that. Some never recover I guess. It sounds like Donald has to have surgery, if so I would say his career at Nebraska is over. Sad situation.

Jackson is going to have shoulder surgery . He's out the remainder of spring ball. He should return 100% for fall.

The coaches have discussed bringing Tierre Green back to the offensive side of the ball.
