Owen Chambliss and Andrew Marshall ruled out for Nebraska at Rutgers

Nebraska will head into Saturday’s matchup at Rutgers missing a pair of starting defenders, as linebacker Owen Chambliss and starting cornerback Andrew Marshall have both been ruled out for the game in New Jersey, according to the initial Big Ten injury report.

Chambliss had not been expected to play after leaving the game with Illinois at halftime, while Marshall was a new addition to the injury report for this week. Additional Nebraska players listed as out include defensive lineman Anthony Jones Jr., wide receiver Larry Miles, defensive back Kahmir Prescott, running back Vincent Genatone, linebacker Jase Reynolds, linebacker Jacob Bower, and defensive lineman Gabe Moore.

Safety Dwayne McDougle III is listed as questionable for Saturday’s matchup. Meanwhile, safety Jamir Conn—who had started this season before leaving the game against Indiana with an injury—is listed as probable.

For Rutgers, wide receiver KJ Duff is officially out, and it was reported Wednesday afternoon that he will miss the rest of the season after undergoing surgery.

Quarterback Dylan Lonergan, who was knocked out early in a loss at Northwestern on Oct. 24, will miss a second straight game due to injury for the Scarlet Knights. Surace, who is listed as questionable on this week’s injury report, had been starting in Lonergan’s place the last two games.

Additional Rutgers players listed as out are defensive back Kaj Sanders, defensive back Zahmir Dawud, defensive back Chris Joines, and offensive lineman Kwabena Asamoah. Rutgers players listed as doubtful include wide receiver Dyzier Carter, offensive lineman Tyler Needham, defensive lineman J’Dan Burnett, and defensive lineman Keshon Griffin. Alongside Surace, other questionable players for the Scarlet Knights are linebacker Abram Wright, linebacker Ty Morris, and kicker Dane Pizzaro.
