LINCOLN, Neb. -- De'Mornay Pierson-El, the dynamic punt returner who has been out since the preseason with a foot injury, will return to practice this week and might play a limited role in Saturday's Big Ten opener at Illinois.
Coach Mike Riley said Monday the rest of his injury report was filled with uncertainty.
The Cornhuskers were missing four starting defensive players against Southern Mississippi on Saturday. That included linebacker Michael Rose-Ivey, who'll miss at least three more games with a groin injury.
