For the first time all season, Nebraska football is playing in the early window. This means an earlier availability notification.

The Big Ten Conference has required an availability report since 2023. The report is simple: Which players are out or questionable?

The Huskers have five players out: kicker Tristan Alvano, defensive back Rahmir Stewart, offensive lineman Micah Mazzccua, linebacker Stefon Thompson and offensive lineman Turner Corcoran. Thompson is the only new addition to the roster, although coaches said Monday and Tuesday they expected Mazzccua to be available before reports surfaced Friday that he was headed elsewhere.

Linebacker Javin Wright is not listed for the Big Red. The junior has missed four games this season due to health problems. This means Wright could potentially make his season debut in West Lafayette.

The Purdue Boilermakers have 11 players out: wide receiver Jayden Dixon-Veal, defensive back Smiley Bradford, wide receiver Jahmal Edrine, defensive back Salim Turner-Muhammad, rush end CJ Madden, wide receiver CJ Smith, defensive lineman Joe Strickland, defensive back Antonio Stevens, linebacker Owen Davis, offensive lineman Joshua Sales Jr. and tight end George Burhenn. The home team also has two players listed as questionable: defensive back Nyland Green and defensive lineman Joe Anderson.

All availability reports can be found on BigTen.org.

Kickoff for Nebraska and Purdue is scheduled for 11 a.m. CDT. The game will not be televised and will only be streamed on Peacock. The Huskers Radio Network provides radio coverage throughout the state.
