IOWA CITY — Iowa football should have two key weapons back in the rotation Saturday against Nevada.
Wide receivers Keagan Johnson and Nico Ragaini are expected to play, Big Ten Network’s Meghan McKeown said on Saturday morning’s B1G Tailgate show.
Kirk Ferentz left Johnson and Ragaini off the Week 3 depth chart on Monday, but he said on his Wednesday radio show that the duo participated in practices on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.

It’s unclear how many snaps Johnson and Ragaini will take after missing the first two games of the 2022 season.
Their return should be a major plus for a position decimated by injuries. Arland Bruce IV has been the only scholarship wide receiver able to handle a full workload through the first two games.
