Mickey Joseph confirmed the news Nebraska was fearful of during his Tuesday press conference.

Star linebacker Nick Henrich is officially out for the remainder of the 2022 season due to a knee injury. Henrich had 8 tackles and a TFL in the loss to Purdue and will be out for the final 5 games.

Henrich had 37 total tackles for the Huskers this season with 3 TFL. He was tied for 5th on the team in tackles at the time of his injury.

Since the loss to Oklahoma, Henrich had 22 total tackles and 2 TFL after Bill Busch took over as the team’s DC. His absence is a big blow to the Nebraska defense.
