Iowa center Jared Reiner would like to return if he is granted a redshirt. Reiner is out after surgery last week to repair a stress fracture in his right foot. Iowa coach Steve Alford says they will apply for the extra year. Reiner says it’s kind of a long shot as he hurt it after the 7th game, but still played in pain.Reiner says he began having problems back in December and it was bothering him since. He says the x-rays didn’t show anything right away and they tried different ways to tape the foot, but it got worse.Reiner says he is confident that other players can help fill the void he has left in the middle.
