We got another 40-minute open practice window this morning for the Huskers' fifth spring practice. Here are some notes and observations from @Steve Marik, @GeoffExstrom and myself:
Updates (12pm):
>>> Added that Jalil Martin and AJ Rollins were in gray jerseys today because those jerseys signify a player who is practicing on both sides of the ball. Martin is now spending time practicing at DB and WR while Rollins is spending time working at TE and DL (which is why he was in that personnel group with the defense that's mentioned in my observations).
>>> Speaking of those personnel groupings, I asked Matt Rhule for clarity on how the defensive groups were organized. He confirmed that they are not yet separated into 1s, 2s and 3s: "They’re just doing circuits, defensive circuits. ... When we rotate it, we have what we call A, B and C, but those change."
