Two Nebraska football players were hospitalized with rhabdomyolysis after offseason workouts last week, coach Scott Frost confirmed to The Omaha World-Herald and The Lincoln Journal Star on Tuesday.
Frost said sophomore wide receiver Tyjon Lindsey and senior defensive lineman Dylan Owen were hospitalized for multiple days after a 32- to 36-minute weight-lifting workout. Lindsey spent three days in the hospital while Owen spent two, and both players have since rejoined the team, Frost told the outlets.
Rhabdomyolysis, more commonly known as "rhabdo," is a muscle injury in which damaged muscle cells leak into the blood stream.
