Iowa QB Cade McNamara Refutes Rumors About His Playing Future

McNamara, sidelined with a concussion, denies claims he has played his last game for the Hawkeyes and aims to return against Nebraska.

Cade McNamara, Iowa's starting quarterback, dismissed media speculation that he has played his final game for the team, calling the reports '100% false.'
McNamara has been out since October 26 due to a concussion and experienced an adverse reaction after attempting to practice this week, preventing him from traveling to Maryland for Saturday's game.
Backup quarterback Brendan Sullivan is also unavailable due to an ankle injury, leaving walk-on Jackson Stratton as Iowa's likely starter against Maryland.
McNamara stated he is undergoing intensive concussion recovery treatments and plans to return for Iowa's regular-season finale against Nebraska on November 29.
The quarterback, who transferred from Michigan and has dealt with injuries in past seasons, has thrown for 1,017 yards, six touchdowns, and five interceptions in eight games this year.
