Charlie Kolar News, Rumors, Updates - Iowa State Cyclones

Announced as starter Kolar (ankle) has been announced as a starter ahead of Saturday's in-state clash with Iowa, The Daily Iowan reports.

Impact Kolar sat out the season opener due to an ankle injury but was expected to make his way back into action Saturday. After participating in warmups, the star tight end has been announced as a starter, clearing almost all doubt surrounding his status for the contest. Kolar recorded five catches for 53 yards the last time these two teams met.

Warming up ahead of game Kolar (ankle) is out for early warmups ahead of Saturday's game against Iowa, Travis Hines of The Des Moines Register reports.

Impact Kolar was dressed for the opener last week but that's about as far as he got. The 6-6 tight end did not warm up and ended up not playing. The fact that he's warming up Saturday is an encouraging sign for his availability. He seems on track to play and would provide a massive boot to the Cyclones' offense if he ends up being active.

Should return next week Kolar (ankle) is expected to be available for Saturday's game against Iowa, Michael Swain of 247Sports.com reports.

Impact Kolar was dressed for the season-opening win over Northern Iowa but didn't take the field, though he was apparently close to being available. The All-American tight end's participation at practice this week should provide a better idea of his outlook for the upcoming matchup with Iowa.

Looks like a go Kolar (lower body) is warming up as if he will play in the opener versus Northern Iowa, Randy Peterson of The Des Moines Register reports.

Impact Things didn't look promising early in the day s far as Kolar's status for the opener, but he's now looking more like he will actually give it a go with a brace on his ankle. The senior tight end should be among the better fantasy tight end options in 2021.

May play after all After being absent from the early warmups, Kolar is now in uniform and sporting a brace on his right ankle, Michael Swain of 247Sports.com reports.

Impact Kolar looked to be a no-go for the contest but looks to have decided to give it a try anyway. The senior will aim to follow up a pair of fantastic seasons and get things off on the right foot Saturday, assuming he indeed gives it a go.

SEPTEMBER 4, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play Saturday Kolar will miss Saturday's opener versus Northern Iowa due to a lower-body injury, Randy Peterson of The Des Moines Register reports.

Impact Kolar's absence will leave the Cyclones without a massive option in the passing game. The senior is coming off of a second consecutive huge campaign for the Cyclones, including seven touchdowns in 11 games, but will likely hand off duties to Chase Allen on Saturday.

SEPTEMBER 4, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Not participating in warmups Kolar is in uniform but isn't taking part in drills ahead of Saturday's season opener versus Northern Iowa, Michael Swain of 247Sports.com reports.

Impact Kolar's status will be one to monitor given his All-American status. The senior has compiled a combined 95 catches for 1,299 yards and 14 touchdowns over the last two years and should be one of the better tight end options in the country again this year when available.
