Iowa's George Kittle: Warming up, expected to play Friday

Kittle (leg) is a full participant in pregame warmups and is expected to play Friday against Nebraska, Marc Morehouse of the Cedar Rapids Gazette reports.

Analysis:

After logging a full week of practice, Kittle will be back in the fold Friday for the Hawkeyes. A leg injury has kept him out of the past two games and Iowa's passing attack struggled mightily in his absence. When healthy, Kittle is arguably Iowa's best pass catcher, so his return Friday is a boon to the Hawkeye offense.
