Did Isaiah Garcia-Castaneda play in Spring Game?

I saw he was on the spring game roster, but I don't recall seeing him on the field nor hearing any mention of him whatsoever. I haven't gone back and re-watched the game, either to see if he was on the field at all. Was he injured?

Betts was out there.

All in all, I have my doubts about the depth of our wide receiver group.
 

That might be him on the right. Guessing an injury kept him from playing.

He did an interview recently and everything sounded like it was heading in the right direction. Was happy to be back and had big plans for this upcoming season. I am guessing he was held out for a minor injury, but I have no information to back that up.
 
I'm guessing he was out. Here are the receiving stats from the Spring Game:

It was reported on 1620 that he was out with an injury.
 
Nursing an injury is what I heard.

Thanks, I never heard any news or read any. So that is good. I'd have liked to have seen him out there, but based on what I saw, I rank him in the top four WR (well fourth best is better way to phrase it). We are thinner there than we realize. I put Betts at #5 and I still wonder about him. I hope he develops, he could easily be our best.

@BigRedOhio - I had seen the same article a while back. So I assumed he was on-board to be put out in front of the press like that. So I was rather shocked by the silence in the media I saw and the press I read.

@Wandering Nebraskan - Yep, I had looked at stats, too. I could not find any sort of participation report.

Glad to see I wasn't the only one who was missing the participation report. Defaulted to stat sheet for names.
Great minds, etc. :)

I'm surprised that it wasn't reported really. I think it was Gary Sharp that was talking about him being out on 1620 The Zone on Monday. Only thing I can really find on twitter is Brian Christopherson responding to a fan asking about IGC.

Well, when Nate B is the team's leading receiver in the spring game with 44 yds, there should be some doubt. Not hanging too much on a spring game, and nothing against him personally, but if our leading receiver in any game is at 44 yds, its probably not going to end well.

Unless you have 350 rushing yards and 40 minutes TOP.
