Cronk has started 40 games at left tackle for Indiana since arriving in Bloomington. Prior to Saturday, he has only missed one game because of injury.
Fortunately for Cronk and Indiana, the left tackle still has a redshirt year left, and because the injury happened before Week 5, he can use his redshirt this season and return to the team next year.
As for the rest of 2019, Indiana coach Tom Allen says the team will use multiple players to replace Cronk at left tackle.
