A pair of key injured Huskers were in pads Tuesday as both Adrian Martinez and Barret Pickering work to get back to full health.
Martinez, who didn't play again Minnesota, and Pickering, who hasn't played all season as NU's kicking game has struggled, both walked past reporters in full gear.
Martinez was wearing a brace on his left knee. As for Pickering, special teams coordinator Jovan Dewitt said the sophomore is up over 20 kicks a week in practice, but the coaching staff is still being careful with the distances from which he is kicking.
Rahmir Johnson could hear his name called more often in the coming weeks as Nebraska's running back room gets reshuffled with the loss of Maurice Washington.
