The NFL preseason is rolling along, and several former Nebraska Cornhuskers are making their presence felt as Week Two wrapped up. From strong defensive stands to key offensive contributions, Huskers across the league are showcasing their talent and fighting for roster spots.
Defensive Highlights
Cam Taylor-Britt (Cincinnati Bengals) – The young cornerback continued to show why he’s a rising name in the Bengals’ secondary, recording multiple tackles and holding his own in coverage. His physicality has been a standout all camp.
Maliek Collins (Houston Texans) – A veteran on the defensive line, Collins plugged up running lanes and applied pressure on the quarterback, reminding Houston of his value as a reliable interior defender.
Offensive Notes
Samori Toure (Green Bay Packers) – Toure hauled in a couple of catches, flashing his route-running and steady hands. He’s building chemistry with Jordan Love and working to carve out a consistent role in the Packers’ receiving corps.
Matt Slauson (retired, but as a coaching assistant) – While no longer on the field, Slauson’s presence on the sidelines as a mentor reflects the broader Husker impact around the league.
Special Teams Contributions
Stanley Morgan Jr. (Free Agent, formerly Bengals) – Though unsigned, reports continue to link him as a possible late addition for teams seeking depth on special teams. His track record with Cincinnati keeps him in the conversation.
Looking Ahead
As the preseason heads into its final week, all eyes will be on the bubble players — those fighting for a roster spot. Nebraska fans can take pride knowing their alumni are leaving their mark on both sides of the ball. From young talent finding their footing to veterans cementing leadership roles, Huskers in the NFL are continuing the program’s tradition of grit and determination.
