Key Michigan WR out for Nebraska game
The Wolverines will be without one of its top wideouts for Saturday night’s contest against Nebraska.
Roman Wilson has been ruled out for the game as he didn’t even make the trip. He suffered an injury against Wisconsin last Saturday while putting up some great numbers.

In that game against the Badgers, it looked like Wilson was starting to turn the corner. He had his best game of the season and finished with 6 receptions for 81 yards. He may not have scored a touchdown, but he was reliable throughout the game.
Before that matchup, the best game Wilson had this season was against Rutgers. He had just 1 catch for 38 yards, and in the week before that against Northern Illinois, he finished with 2 catches for 26 yards.
Coming into this week, Wilson had already passed his numbers from last season. He currently has 145 yards receiving, which is 23 more yards than he had all of last year.
Kickoff between the Wolverines and Cornhuskers will be at 7:30 p.m. ET.
