Matt Rhule updates status of WR Demitrius Bell

It's been 464 days since receiver suffered a knee injury in the spring game of April 2024. The setback knocked Bell out for the entire 2024 campaign, plus this year's spring practices. Last Monday, head coach Matt Rhule announced Bell would be out for fall camp as well. Before Saturday's Big Red Preview open practice, Rhule touched on Bell's recovery. He said the 6-foot, 195-pounder recently traveled to Chicago to see a knee specialist. If all goes to plan, Bell could return to the practice field during the first half of the season. 'He'll be back here soon. When I say soon, in the first part of the year,' Rhule said. 'It's just the after effects, pain tolerance, different things like that. So I don't know enough to get too far into specifics other than, every time we've gotten closer, he's almost back, it's just a little bit of a setback. … Really positive outlook, though. So, expect him to be back, hopefully at some point in the first part of the season.' After redshirting his first season at Nebraska in 2023, Bell, a former 4-star recruit in the 2023 class out Nashville (Tenn.) McGavock, was the talk of spring ball 2024. Unfortunately, Bell was one of two players who suffered a serious injury during that spring game. The other was cornerback , who appeared to be the starter opposite Tommi Hill until he injured his knee. That setback knocked Blye out until midseason. 'Last spring game was really unfortunate, right? We lost D-Bell, who we thought was probably going to be one of our best receivers to a semi-contact injury,' Rhule said Feb. 1. 'And then Blye Hill, we thought was gonna be our starting corner. Those guys never quite came around.' If Bell's rehab does go according to plan, he'll compete for snaps in what appears to be a high-potential receiver room led by position coach Daikiel Shorts Jr. Kentucky transfer Dane Key, Cal transfer Nyziah Hunter and returning slot Jacory Barney Jr. are expected to be the core wideouts in a standard 11 personnel grouping. Veteran Janiran Bonner will also have a role as a pass catcher and blocker in offensive coordinator Dana Holgorsen's offense. But the young talent behind those four are emerging. Big-body redshirt freshmen Quinn Clark and Keelan Smith stood out during Saturday's Big Red Preview, as did true freshman Cortez Mills Jr., who repped with the first-team due to Key sitting out. Uber-athletes Carter Nelson and Heinrich Haarberg, while listed as tight ends, could still have pass-catching roles out of the slot as well.

Rich Rodriguez: 'We got a little better today'

head coach liked the competition level on the final day before the players transition to full pads. 'Thought we got a little better today, a little more competitive,' he said. The veteran head coach believes at times his players looked a little soft in shells but that is because of them not being quite sure on how to thud. That should remedy itself beginning Tuesday with pads. 'We took some steps and there's a lot of healthy competition at a lot of spots,' he said. That was on display during the team period of practice as the coaching staff kept score for the offense against the defense and awarded points for winning each play. The hope is that the team naturally keeps that as close as possible and that is what occurred Monday in practice. So, it was settled by the offensive lineman running goal-line patterns against the defensive linemen with the offense emerging victorious. 'O-linemen run the routes, goal line routes which that took quite a bit of time for them to get there even on the two-yard line and d-line was guarding them and surprisingly we had two o-line made big time SportsCenter highlight catches to win the day,' he said. One of the biggest challenges in the first year is simply trying to learn the team and what certain players and position groups do well. Inevitably, different players have different strengths and the coaches are still in the process of evaluating players to determine what those are for each. 'Everybody's got a system but you still get somewhat to the strengths of what your players do but we've got time, we've got time to sort that out,' Rodriguez said. –Rodriguez was asked about the lawsuit filed by his four players awaiting eligibility waivers in , , and . 'Outstanding. I'm hopeful. Those guys have been around. They have to workout on their own,' he said. Obviously they will help our program and I know they have attorneys and we'll see how it goes.'
