Former Iowa football OL set to miss entire 2026 NFL season with injury
A former Hawkeye great got an unfortunate injury update on Tuesday.
Former Iowa offensive lineman Mason Richman is set to miss the entirety of the 2026 NFL season due to an injury. The Seattle Seahawks placed him on the season-ending injured reserve list on Tuesday after he left a week two preseason game early with a knee injury. The 2025 seventh-round draft pick will now have to wait even longer to make his mark in the NFL.
Richman, who started 43 consecutive games at Iowa, appeared in two games as a rookie last season. He was poised to shift from tackle to guard in an attempt to aid the Seahawks in their pursuit of another Super Bowl title. It now appears that he will be sidelined until the 2027 season. The Seahawks are hopeful that Richman can recover swiftly and return to the field at full capacity next year.
