Linebacker Thomas Brown sacks Ryker Fyfe (left) during the annual Nebraska Red-White spring game. LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) -- Nebraska coach Bo Pelini has announced that defensive end Ernest Suttles and linebacker Thomas Brown are no longer on the Cornhuskers' football team.
The university's athletic department said in a statement Thursday night that it was "aware of an incident involving student-athletes which occurred off campus over the weekend."
The athletic department said it was working with the university's Dean of Students to gather details.
A message was left with Lincoln police.
Suttles, from Tampa, Fla., signed with the Huskers in February and was set to join the program this fall. Pelini had said in February that Suttles had a chance to be an immediate contributor as a freshman. Brown, from Gardena, Calif., was to be a redshirt freshman this season.

Serena Williams apologizes again after rape case comments
In a Rolling Stone story, Williams said a 16-year-old rape victim "shouldn't have put herself in that position."LONDON (AP) -- Serena Williams has issued a new apology for what she called "insensitive and misinformed comments" she made about the victim in the Steubenville, Ohio, rape case.
In a Rolling Stone story posted online last week, Williams said the 16-year-old girl "shouldn't have put herself in that position."
The next day, Williams apologized in a statement. She also apologized at a news conference Sunday.
On Monday night, a day before Williams plays her first-round match at Wimbledon, she released another statement on her website, saying she also wanted to "extend an apology to the millions of sexual assault victims in America whose pain could have been compounded by my inappropriate remarks." Sexual assault, Williams wrote, "is never acceptable and never the fault of the victim."

Joy for Stevens after amazing win
The Spitfires clinched an amazing YB40 victory by chasing down 336 - a world record for the 40-over game.
And Stevens' century from only 44 balls is the joint-fastest 40-over hundred in Kent's history.
"To me that's top of the list. The boys are so happy, it was a fantastic feeling," he told BBC Radio Kent.
"It was just a great game. Sussex played really well and got to an unbelievable target.
"Our chat in the changing room was 'just go and play with freedom, have fun and a bit of banter and see where we are in the last over' - and we didn't even get to the last over!"
Stevens, 37, a star of Kent's 2007 Twenty20 Cup triumph, has managed to turn his season around after a frustrating spell.
He equalled Mark Ealham's club record with his swift century and is back to full fitness following a number of injury problems.
"I was gutted I got off to not a great start early this season," said Stevens. "I had a couple of niggles, which was frustrating.
"But I worked hard on my form and have gone back to basics. I suppose the gods are with me at the moment. They're helping me along and I'm doing well.
"I'm really pleased with where I am at the moment with my game."
After Stevens eventually departed for 118, Kent were led to victory by Sam Northeast's 115 - the youngster's first one-day century.
"It was an absolutely memorable night," Northeast declared. "Most of the credit should go to Stevo - one of the best innings I've ever seen.
"To get a hundred off 44 balls is absolutely out of this world. To beat Sussex like that is just great.
"To be honest, the whole way through I didn't actually believe we were going to do it until Stevo came in and played that knock.
"I knew something special would have to happen - that either myself or him would have to go mental.
"He just kept hitting sixes for fun. It was an unbelievable innings."
