Iowa quarterback Brendan Sullivan will miss the final two regular-season games and Cade McNamara will return from a two-game absence to replace him when the Hawkeyes visit Maryland on Saturday, according to multiple reports on Monday.
McNamara sustained a concussion against Northwestern on Oct. 26 and has missed the past two games.
Sullivan sustained a sprained ankle in the second half of a 20-17 loss to UCLA on Nov. 8. Walk-on Jackson Stratton finished up that contest with McNamara and Marco Lainez III (broken thumb) sidelined.
Sullivan passed for 344 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions in parts of eight games this season. The Northwestern transfer has rushed for four touchdowns.
McNamara has thrown for 1,017 yards, six touchdowns and five interceptions in eight games. He is in second season at Iowa after transferring Michigan.
