Husker RB Washington's playing status still TBD; decision coming later this week

Nebraska quarterback Adrian Martinez hands off the ball to Maurice Washington on Aug. 7 during practice at the Hawks Championship Center.

The school has not yet made a determination yet whether the sophomore running back, who is facing two charges, one a felony, in California, will play this weekend against South Alabama.

“We’re trying to determine what’s going on with Maurice,” Frost said. “I’ve said this before, but we’re taking his issues very seriously. We’ve got to wait and try to get more clarity before the week comes up and several people will sit down and try to make the best decision.
