MINNEAPOLIS -- Minnesota receiver Eric Decker is expected to return to the lineup this week against Iowa.
Decker missed the last game at Wisconsin and was limited to a handful of plays the previous week against Michigan because of an ankle injury suffered in the game against Northwestern on Nov. 1.
One of 10 finalists for the Biletnikoff Award, given to the best receiver in major college football, Decker leads the Big Ten with 74 catches. The junior is second in the conference with 892 yards.
Coach Tim Brewster said Decker will probably not be 100 percent, "but he'll be close."
