L.J. Phillips RB

Iowa running back L.J. Phillips left the Hawkeyes' Oct. 9 game against Washington late with a lower-leg injury, according to Iowa Hawkeyes On SI. Iowa's depth chart has Xavier Williams at running back behind starting running back Kamari Moulton, the outlet reported. The outlet said it is unclear whether that is due to Phillips being injured or is simply a formality.
