A.J. Henning - Just two receptions in loss Henning had two receptions for 22 yards on four targets in Saturday's loss at Iowa.
Impact Henning left the prior week's contest against Wisconsin following a big hit, requiring a cart to go to the locker room, so it was a surprise to see him healthy and playing. However, the passing offense struggled as quarterback Jack Lausch has taken a big step back the past two weeks. Fortunately the passing game faces a much easier task this week at Purdue.
OCTOBER 28 • ROTOWIRE
Cam Porter - Has 50 yards rushing in loss Porter had 13 carries for 50 yards and two receptions for two yards in Saturday's loss at Iowa.
Impact Porter again got the large majority of running back carries (13 of 19 carries) but wasn't very efficient given the overall struggles of the offense. He should face a much easier task next week at Purdue.
OCTOBER 28 • ROTOWIRE
Bryce Kirtz - Expect to play against Purdue Kirtz (undisclosed) is expected to play Saturday at Purdue, head coach David Braun told Matthew Shelton of Wildcat Report.
Impact Kirtz missed last weekend's loss at Iowa due to an undisclosed injury. It looks like the Wildcats will have both of their main targets in the passing game this week in Kirtz and A.J. Henning, who have missed time due to injury the past two games.
OCTOBER 28 • ROTOWIRE
Jack Lausch - Will remain starter against Purdue Lauch will remain the starter at quarterback Saturday against Purdue despite his recent struggles, head coach David Braun told Matthew Shelton of Wildcat Report. Lauch was just 10-...
Impact After showing promise in two games after taking over as the starting quarteback, Lausch has taken a big step back the last two games. He's just 19-for-33 for 144 yards with two interceptions, a key fumble lost near the goal line and been sacked for two safties the last two weeks. While the Wildcasts should be motivated to give him experience for the upside of a quarterback who may stick around for multiple seasons, another poor outing could have the team going back to the drawing board.
OCTOBER 28 • ROTOWIRE
Jack Olsen - Unavailable for Purdue game Olsen (lower body) is out for Northwestern's game Saturday at Purdue, Inside NU reports.
Impact Olsen will sit out Northwestern's first game of what could be the Wildcats' last month of their 2024 schedule. After Saturday, they have a bye week, pushing Olsen's return date to Nov. 16 against Ohio State.

Kaleb Johnson leads Iowa's 28-point third-quarter outburst in 40-14 win over Northwestern
Kaleb Johnson rushed for 109 yards and three touchdowns, and backup quarterback Brendan Sullivan added another rushing touchdown, as Iowa defeated Northwestern 40-14 on SaturdayOCTOBER 26 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Jack Olsen - Out vs. Iowa Olsen (lower body) is out against Iowa, Matthew Shelton of Rivals.com reports.
Impact Olsen reportedly didn't travel with the team, so the kicker wasn't necessarily close to playing in Week 9. The kicker, who's hit 7-of-10 field goals this season, hasn't placed since Week 6 and will now miss his third straight game. Luke Akers should handle the kicking duties for the Wildcats.
OCTOBER 26 • ROTOWIRE
Bryce Kirtz - Ruled out Saturday Kirtz (undisclosed) has been ruled out for Saturday's game at Iowa.
Impact Kirtz will not suit up Saturday after being listed as questionable heading into the contest. It's a tough blow for the Wildcats as Kirtz has recorded over 120 receiving yards in two of his last three games. His next chance to suit up is next Saturday at Purdue.
OCTOBER 26 • ROTOWIRE
Bryce Kirtz - Not seen warming up Kirtz (undisclosed) wasn't spotted warming up, Inside NU reports.
Impact Kirtz was knocked out of Northwestern's game against Wisconsin last week. He's reportedly not warming up ahead of Week 9 against Iowa, which obviously isn't a good sign for his availability. The wideout is one of Northwestern's most dangerous pieces on offense, and he's posted 27 catches for 414 yards this fall.
OCTOBER 26 • ROTOWIRE
A.J. Henning - Warming up Saturday Henning (undisclosed) is warming up ahead of Saturday's game at Iowa, Inside NU reports.
Impact Henning is going through pregame warmups Saturday, a very promising sign for his status versus the Hawkeyes. While his availability is still in question, it looks like he's trending towards suiting up.
OCTOBER 26 • ROTOWIRE
Caleb Komolafe - Out again Saturday Komolafe (undisclosed) won't play Saturday against Iowa.
Impact It'll be the second straight game Komolafe's missed with an undisclosed injury. The redshirt freshman logged 80 yards on 34 carries this season while serving as a change-of-pace option behind Cam Porter and Joseph Himon.
OCTOBER 26 • ROTOWIRE
A.J. Henning - Listed questionable versus Iowa Henning (undisclosed) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game versus Iowa, per the Big Ten availability report.
Impact Henning left last week's contest against Wisconsin following a big hit, requiring a cart to go to the locker room. It's a surprisingly good sign that the senior isn't out on the report. Additional clarification on the wideout's status should surface when the Wildcats take the field for pregame warmups.
OCTOBER 26 • ROTOWIRE
Bryce Kirtz - Questionable at Iowa Kirtz (undisclosed) is questionable Saturday at Iowa.
Impact Kirtz has appeared in every game this season for the Wildcats and is at risk of missing his first Saturday versus Iowa. It's unclear what injury he is dealing with. His participation, or lack thereof, in pregame warmups should be a good indicator on whether or not he's able to play.
