As Northwestern gets set to open Big Ten play Saturday, the Wildcats were on the receiving end of some good news on the injury front.
This time last week, Isaiah Bowser was ruled out of the Week 3 matchup with UNLV because of an unspecified knee injury suffered in the season-opening loss to Stanford. Thursday, Northwestern released its injury report for the Week 4 game against Michigan State and Bowser was not listed.
Additionally, Bowser is listed as the Wildcats’ starting running back on the depth chart.
