Iowa's backfield took a hit Tuesday when coach Kirk Ferentz announced that running back Kamari Moulton will miss the remainder of the season with an upper-body injury, per ESPN's reporting.
Ferentz did not specify the exact nature of the injury beyond its upper-body classification, but the decision to shut down Moulton for the season underscores the severity of the setback. The Hawkeyes will need to lean more heavily on their remaining depth at the position as the season winds down.
The timing of the injury adds pressure to Iowa's preparation for remaining games, requiring adjustments to both offensive scheming and personnel rotation.
