Coach Matt Rhule spoke to the media on Tuesday and provided an update on Raiola's injury. Rhule said that Raiola had suffered a "significant" foot injury and that he is expected to miss the entire 2023 season.
"This is a tough blow for our team and for Dylan," Rhule said. "He's a great player and a great kid, and we're all going to miss him on the field this year."
Rhule said that Raiola will undergo surgery next week and that the recovery process is expected to take several months. He added that Raiola is expected to make a full recovery and be ready to play in 2024.
The loss of Raiola is a major setback for the Cornhuskers, who were hoping to make a run at the Big Ten West title this season. Raiola was expected to be a key part of the offense, and his absence will be felt.
