Why it Matters
After clinching the Big Ten title for the Wolverines in 2021, McNamara found himself overshadowed by J.J. McCarthy, who beat him out for Michigan’s starting QB spot in 2022. Subsequently, McNamara made the move to Iowa, with anticipations of him topping the quarterback depth chart this season. However, recent news just weeks away from the college football season’s kick-off indicates that McNamara suffered a knee problem during fall camp, prompting an early exit from practice.

- Iowa quarterback Cade McNamara reportedly sustained a potential knee injury during Saturday’s practice.
