Rapid Reaction: Deontai Williams out for season; Taylor-Britt tops depth chart at safety

Junior Nebraska safety Deontai Williams had shoulder surgery and is out "for the foreseeable future," head coach Scott Frost confirmed Monday.

Frost typically only acknowledges specific injury status when a player is going to miss the remainder of the season.

Williams was hurt in the first quarter against South Alabama. He was involved in multiple hard collisions and a couple of times looked to be favoring his left shoulder area before eventually leaving the game.

On special teams, Isaac Armstrong is now listed as the No. 1 placekicker and William Przystup the No. 2 in place of injured sophomore starter Barret Pickering (leg/hip).
