Head or neck has been speculated/mentioned. Hope nothing serious and he is able to return quickly.
He's not on the two-deeps. That doesn't always mean anything in Iowa's case but it's worth noting.
Ferentz's press conferences are not nearly as hard to follow as Eisenhower's syntax, but they still leave a lot to be desired in terms of info.
but reading between the lines, we are out one of our top O-lineman for the rest of the year.

He had a hell of a helment-to-helmet collision with a Wisky LB. To me it looked like he recognized the collision coming just a split second too late and took the brunt of it with his front facemask/forehead and his head snapped back quite a bit. Two big dudes meeting full speed in the hole. I suspect a concussion that could be challenging to predict timing of a return.
That was a weird injury. I watched it a couple of times and it looked like nothing but then a few seconds after the play was over he went down on a knee. Had to be some kind of concussion thing.
I thought maybe het got hit in the marbles they way he stayed on his hands and knees on the field while they attended to him. They didn't do anything with his neck and never really did anything there on the field with him. He rested for a while and got up and walked off. I assumed it was an old fashioned mid section hit. Don't think they showed it on the big screen what happened.
The trainers were definitely massaging the back of his neck while he was down on all fours.
Good thing it wasn't the marbles then.
I hope maybe just a neck strain with a bit of dizziness/whiplash and no concussion or serious injury.
Banged up from tripping over there own feet! I think they wear blinders with no lateral sight possible
I think Stephens has a chance to be really good. Has that mean streak and drive that I like to see on the field....has cost us a couple of personal fouls though!
And some big time whiffs early on. He got abused those first couple of games.
I agree with this. He is athletic and quick for interior OL. He has made some mistakes and will make more but most are due to inexperience. As stayed, I also think there is some real piss and vinegar there as well, something guards and tackles have been missing at Iowa since Scherff.
how big of a loss is he going to be Saturday v. Minnesota? I would think substantial. the o-line was kind of a sieve against Wisconsin, and this injury only exacerbates it.
