March 29th, 10pm UPDATE: Rob Howe of HawkeyeInsider.com spoke with Jordan Canzeri’s father Brian, who confirmed that Jordan suffered a torn ACL. His father suggests in the story, which you can read by clicking on the link, that Jordan may redshirt in 2012….also, a message board user put together a list of Iowa’s running back injury issues over the past decade or so. It’s mind boggling, to say the least.

There was a post on our forums this morning that suggested Iowa running back Jordan Canzeri had suffered an injury.

Here is what the post said: “Lives a few doors down from me. Saw him walking with crutches and a brace around his anke/knee. Not sure the severity of it, but wasn’t putting any pressure on the injured leg. Take it for what it’s worth.”

This afternoon, Marc Morehouse of The Gazette made the following tweets:

Hearing Iowa RB Jordan Canzeri suffered a knee injury in practice Wednesday. MRI today.

followed by this:

Sounds serious.

If it does turn out to be serious, it’s very bad news for an Iowa backfield that was already full of question marks after the transfers of Marcus Coker and Mika’il McCall from last year.

Let’s hope it’s nothing serious and just a tweak, but Iowa’s luck with things like this hasn’t been too hot. We’ll keep you posted.
