Cooper DeJean’s status updated for remainder of Nebraska game
Published:
Cooper DeJean was injured on Nebraska’s 1st offensive possession of the game.
The star defensive back for Iowa was forced to exit after absorbing a big blow from a Husker’s blocker. According to Chad Leistikow of the Iowa City Press-Citizen and Des Moines Register, DeJean is in street clothes on the sidelines and will not return.
Cooper DeJean won’t return, he’s in sweats according to my binoculars.

DeJean leads the Hawkeyes in interceptions with 4. DeJean is also the 3rd-leading tackler with 67 on the season. With DeJean out, expect to see more of T.J. Hall and Jamison Heinz in the secondary.
Nebraska took advantage of some key Iowa miscues and went up 17-0 in the second quarter. With a win, the Hawkeyes would make it 8 consecutive wins over the Huskers. A win would lock up the B1G West for the Hawkeyes and give the team 8 wins on the season.
