Matt Rhule Updates Rahmir Johnson's Injury Status

Johnson's Status for Ohio State Game Remains Uncertain

According to Rhule, Johnson is currently day-to-day with the injury.

The severity of the injury and the timeline for Johnson's return have not been disclosed.

Rhule stated that the team's medical staff is monitoring Johnson's progress and will make a decision on his availability closer to game time.

Johnson's Importance to Nebraska Offense

Johnson has been a key contributor to the Nebraska offense this season, rushing for 480 yards and four touchdowns in eight games.

He is the team's second-leading rusher behind Anthony Grant and has also caught 13 passes for 106 yards.

Johnson's absence would be a significant blow to the Cornhuskers' offense, which has struggled to find consistency this season.

Outlook for Nebraska vs. Ohio State

The Cornhuskers are significant underdogs against the Buckeyes, who are ranked No. 2 in the country.

Nebraska has not defeated Ohio State since 2011 and has lost the last four meetings by an average of 35 points.

Johnson's availability could impact the outcome of the game, but the Cornhuskers will need to play a near-perfect game to have a chance to pull off the upset.
