When last week’s depth chart was released, Shaun Beyer was nowhere to be found, and it appeared he had lost ground in the tight end position battle versus Nate Wieting and Drew Cook. Iowa football head coach Kirk Ferentz explained later on that Beyer would be in the mix but had been injured.
We didn’t exactly know what that meant for Beyer or the rest of the tight ends but we have a better idea now.
Against Miami of Ohio, Beyer hauled in his first career reception, which was a long time coming considering he joined the Hawks the same year as Noah Fant and TJ Hockenson did.
