Iowa QB Cade McNamara (concussion) out vs. Wisconsin

Iowa quarterback Cade McNamara will miss Saturday’s game against Wisconsin due to a concussion.McNamara sustained the head injury during last Saturday’s 40-14 home win over Northwestern. He exited in the second quarter.McNamara took a hard hit on the play and “hit the turf pretty hard,” Hawkeyes coach Kirk Ferentz said Tuesday.Ferentz said McNamara is under close watch.”As far as the severity and all that, my experience, and I’m certainly not qualified medically other than I listen to a lot of things and watch, seems like each and every one is a different discussion, so with some luck hopefully he’ll start turning the corner,” Ferentz said.McNamara has completed 60.5 percent of his passes for 1,017 yards, six touchdowns and five interceptions.Brendan Sullivan, who replaced McNamara against Northwestern, will be the starter against the Badgers.
