There were a couple of big-time players back at practice on Tuesday for Nebraska football. Wide receiver Marcus Washington and left tackle Teddy Prochazka were both back at practice.
This is a notable development for several reasons. Nebraska needs help on the offensive line, and Prochazka would certainly be a big addition. The coaching staff has been careful not to rush him back. At the very least, he is back on the field and beginning to get ready for the season.
Health is the most important thing for him, and the Nebraska football coaching staff rushed him back last year. You could tell that he wasn’t comfortable and he was put in a tough position by playing for much of the season. In any event, he needs to be healthy throughout the course of the season for the Huskers’ offensive line to be successful. The line as a whole needs to have a strong year, and he’s a big part of that.
