The injury bug has once again bitten the Nebraska Cornhuskers. Wide receiver Marcus Washington will miss the rest of the season with a torn ACL.
Head coach Matt Rhule confirmed the news at his Tuesday afternoon press conference. Washington injured his knee during the Huskers’ 20-7 victory over the University of Illinois.
This season, the wide receiver had started in all six games with eight catches for 176 yards. For his career, Washington has appeared in 48 games and has made 64 receptions for 1,013 yards and four touchdowns.
Washington did not start his career at Nebraska. He started his career at Texas (2019-21) before transferring to Nebraska for the 2022 and 2023 seasons.
