Henry Burt - Practicing with Cornhuskers Burt (knee) is practicing for Nebraska, per Wilson Moore of the Beatrice Daily Sun.

Impact Burt missed all of last season due to an injury, but he is trending toward being available this season as he's an active participant in fall practices. The 6-foot-8 forward decided to return to Nebraska for the upcoming campaign, where he will look to compete for minutes in the frontcourt, though it is uncertain what role he will have given his extended absence.

Cale Jacobsen - Starting in exhibition game Friday Jacobsen (ankle) is starting in Friday's exhibition game against St. Louis, per Mike Sautter of Hurrdat Sports.

Impact Jacobsen was previously reported to return soon, and he is now good to go after dealing with an ankle sprain. The guard will start in the exhibition game, looking to vie for minutes this upcoming season after averaging 4.6 points and 2.6 rebounds across 19.7 minutes per game with the Cornhuskers in 2025-26.

Cale Jacobsen - Should return soon Jacobsen (ankle) should be able to return soon from his injury, according to Robin Washut of On3.

Impact Jacobsen is dealing with a sprained ankle, an injury described as "mild" but not healthy enough to say his physical status is at 100 percent. Nebraska's team has three exhibition games for him to test himself, the first coming up Friday against Saint Louis.

Sam Orme - Out for exhibition game Orme (hamstring) is out for Friday's exhibition game against Saint Louis, according to Robin Washut of On3.

Impact It appears that going into Nebraska's preseason, Orme had been dealing with a hamstring injury, as Washut indicated that the senior is recovering well. With the Cornhuskers only in preseason action thus far, they will not push their luck by using him immediately. The team has multiple exhibition games anyway, their first of two remaining matchups scheduled for Oct. 16 at BYU.

Cale Jacobsen - Set for important role Jacobsen is expected to be an important piece for Nebraska in 2026-27, per Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.

Impact The senior guard appears positioned for a meaningful role entering the season. Even if that impact is not fully box-score driven, Rothstein's report points to steady rotation value for Nebraska. Last season, he averaged 4.6 points, 2.9 rebounds and 1.3 assists across 19.7 minutes off the bench in Lincoln.

Connor Essegian - Finally healthy again Essegian (ankle) is fully cleared for basketball-related activities and is practicing with no restrictions, according to Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.

Impact Because of an injured ankle, Essegian did not play most of Nebraska's 2025-26 season, during which the Cornhuskers not only played 28 games without him but also advanced deep into March Madness. Fortunately for the senior, he can medically redshirt said campaign and opted to re-enroll at NU. During the 2024-25 Huskers' season, Essegian not only averaged 22.5 minutes but also 10.7 points and 2.2 three-pointers made on 40.6/37.7/80.0 shooting splits. He has excelled for Nebraska, but the question is whether he can do so next season, especially given that his 2025-26 campaign saw reduced tallies on all fronts.
