Steinkuhler update

Steinkuhler back
Defensive coordinator Kevin Cosgrove said Ty Steinkuhler was back on the practice field Tuesday and would “absolutely” play on Saturday.

The sophomore defensive tackle injured his knee less than five minutes into the season opener.

Junior Kevin Dixon came into replace him and did “pretty good” according to Cosgrove, even intercepting a pass in his first game as a Husker.

"Fundamental techniques have to improve, but the more reps he gets, actual game reps will really help him,” Cosgrove said of Dixon.

Good to hear! :thumbs

Normally if the injury seems serious they take the player straight to the locker room. So I was encouraged to see him sitting on the sideline for awhile after he came off the field. It gave some hope that he was just dinged up and would be back soon.

Glad to hear it. I thought Dixon looked solid, filling in for Ty. Good pressure, and a nice grab on that int.

But yeah..Good to have him back and looks like having Dixon backing him up will allow him to ease in.
