Key Huskers Get Healthy for Colorado Game
There was some good news on the injury front Thursday for Nebraska football.
Meeting with reporters for the final time before Saturday's showdown at Colorado, head coach Matt Rhule said offensive tackle Teddy Prochazka and linebackers Nick Henrich and Jimari Butler will be available for the game. None of the three played in the season opener at Minnesota.
Prochazka's status sounded the least solid of the three. "I think Teddy is healthy," Rhule said. "He's playing football for the first time in a long time. He's working and he's done a nice job this week. He could see some action."

On the defensive line, both Blaise Gunnerson and Cameron Lenhardt will start against Colorado, Rhule said. Ty Robinson must sit out the first half because of a targeting foul in the Minnesota game.
