Iowa's Matt VandeBerg: Won't participate in spring practice

VandeBerg re-injured the foot that caused him to miss all but four games last season and will not be available for spring practice Michael Carvell of SECCountry.com reports.

Analysis:

This certainly isn't good news for him or Iowa, but provided that he can make a full recovery by the beginning of the season, Vandeberg should be locked in as Iowa's number one receiver. Before sustaining his injury last year, Vandeberg caught 19 passes for 284 yards and three touchdowns.
