Canzeri (ankle) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against Maryland, Steve Batterson of the Quad City Times reports.

Analysis:

Canzeri was unlikely to play Saturday even after a bye week given the severity of his high ankle sprain. Coach Kirk Ferentz referred to his injury as a "week-to-week" issue, but noted that Canzeri is improving each day. In Canzeri's absence, Akrum Wadley, Derrick Mitchell, and LeShun Daniels will carry the load for the Hawkeyes.
