Bowman's Recovery Ahead of Schedule

10-11 Husker Insider Sean Callahan is reporting NU cornerback Zack Bowman's recovery is ahead of schedule. Callahan says there's a chance Bowman could be ready for the season opener. Nebraska's first game is Sept. 1 against Nevada.

Bowman was ruled out 4 1/2 to 6 months after surgery during spring football. The defensive back's leg tangled with a teammate during a non-contact drill, which ruptured his petellar tendon. That was Bowman's first action since fall camp. He missed all of the '06 season with an ACL injury. The petellar setback, thankfully, was on his other knee.

I hope to God that's the case. But my biggest concern all along is the mental aspect. The knee may be fully healed, but will Zack trust it? Will he have the confidence to cut and accelerate? That's the really tough part to overcome.

 
Injuries are a scary thing, you never know how a kid will react. Octavian seems just fine but Harian was a shadow of himself. I just hope he is ready to shut some people down!

 
ya I hope the coaches don't rush him into playing in the opener because it's not even going to be a game just get him in when he's fully healed or at least really close

Every time I think about Octavian getting hurt, it makes me :madash .

I remember how he was flying all over the field... Then on some stupid return.... :hmmph

i dont think that it will be a problem with the coaches rushing to get Bowman on the field. I think the real problem will be Bowman rushing himself to get on the field.

But the training staff and the Dr's there at the university hopefully will not allow him to go to fast

As much as I would like to see him sooner...I say wait atleast 5-6 games before seeing a lot of time on the field.

 
Honestly I would mainly use him in the red zone to protect the jump ball for a while until he can literally and figuratively get his legs back under him.

 
got to trust that the coaches and trainers will ease him back into a starting rotation. his NFL career is at stake here as well.
