This Kansas football running back is questionable for Big 12 Conference game at Iowa State

LAWRENCE — Kansas football is in the middle of another Big 12 Conference game week, and that meant the release of a player availability report Wednesday before Saturday’s game against Iowa State.

The Jayhawks will again be without tight end Carson Bruhn, and on the questionable side, running back Daniel Hishaw Jr. and defensive tackle Kenean Caldwell are two names to know. Hishaw and Caldwell are both important parts of their respective sides of the ball, but time will tell what their statuses are as the week unfolds.

Here’s a look at where things stand for Kansas (5-5, 3-4 in Big 12) and Iowa State (6-4, 3-4) ahead of this matchup:
