Northwestern will battle undefeated Iowa on Saturday with the Big Ten's most prolific quarterback under center. Mike Kafka's name is not listed on NU's injury report, meaning his self-described "tweaked" left hamstring has healed quickly.
No word on just how effective Kafka will be as a runner, though. NU coach Pat Fitzgerald does not meet with the media after Wednesday.
One other injury note: Safety Brendan Smith re-injured his left thumb and has been ruled out for the game.
