Iowa tight end Addison Ostrenga will miss the rest of the season after suffering an injury to his left Achilles tendon in the first quarter Saturday at Iowa State.
Ostrenga, who started the Hawkeyes' first two games this season, needed to be helped off Saturday after landing hard on his left leg. He underwent surgery Monday to repair the tendon, coach Kirk Ferentz said.
'It's really unfortunate,' Ferentz said Tuesday. 'Addison is a great young guy, and you hate to have anybody certainly lose playing time, and he's one of our senior guys, leader, and just a tremendous young person. That's certainly disappointing.'
Ostrenga, a 6-foot-4, 248-pound senior, started four games in 2024 and six in 2023 and has 48 career receptions for 320 yards and three touchdowns. His most productive season was in 2023, when he tallied 31 catches for 192 yards and two touchdowns. He had one catch for 8 yards this season.
Zach Ortwerth and Hayden Large are expected to get more work in Ostrenga's place. Iowa will host UMass on Saturday night.
