Will Tommy Armstrong Jr. play against Iowa on Friday?

Nebraska head coach Mike Riley said today that he’s unsure if the Huskers will have Tommy Armstrong Jr. on Friday against Iowa.

Armstrong, a senior, missed this past Saturday’s game against Maryland with ankle and hamstring injuries.

Riley says Armstrong is getting better and they’ll know more about his status tonight or tomorrow. Nebraska’s backup, Ryker Fyfe, has a broken wrist on his non-throwing hand and is questionable for the game, too.

Riley said Armstrong has improved. "Will he improve enough for the game, we don't know yet." Will know more Tuesday. — Brian Christopherson (@HuskerExtraBC) November 21, 2016

Fyfe broke a bone in left wrist (non-throwing hand). Had surgery. Will wear a brace on it. Riley wants to see how he can function tonight. — Brian Christopherson (@HuskerExtraBC) November 21, 2016

Nebraska and Iowa are set to kick off at 3:30 p.m. E.T. Friday. The game will be televised on ABC. The Hawkeyes opened as a two-point favorite.
