LINCOLN, Neb. (KMTV) — Nebraska football wide receiver Zavier Betts is not currently with the team according to Huskers head coach Scott Frost.
Frost wouldn't say if there was a chance Betts could return but would only say Betts is not with the team right now.
"Zavier's not a member of the team right now," Frost said following Thursday's practice.
When pressed for a reason, Frost declined to give one.
"He's just not a member of the team right now," said Frost.
When Frost was asked if he anticipated Betts would return, Frost again did not elaborate.
"Doesn't matter," Frost said. "Right now, he's not a member of the team."
