Scott Frost and Nebraska are hoping to get starting tight end Travis Vokolek back quickly from an ankle injury sustained against Northwestern.
In the season opener against the Wildcats, Vokolek was a favorite target of starting quarterback Casey Thompson. He finished with 5 catches for 63 yards and was consistently utilized as a safety valve over the middle of the field.
Unfortunately, Vokolek went down with an ankle injury during the second half. He was unable to return to the action with Northwestern staging a comeback win.
Fortunately, Frost announced Tuesday that Vokolek is day-to-day with the injury and could potentially be back on the field vs. North Dakota.
Frost said Travis Vokolek is “day to day” after his ankle injury.

Frost says they’re preparing to play with or without TE Travis Vokolek, who suffered an ankle injury against Northwestern. WR Omar Manning was back at practice Tuesday ahead of the home opener against Saturday against North Dakota.

Hopefully, Vokolek is back quickly, either this week or for Week 2 action and the rest of B1G play.
