Hawkeyes suspend Iwebema, Grigsby for opener

IOWA CITY, Iowa -- Iowa defensive end Kenny Iwebema and wide receiver Herb Grigsby were each suspended Wednesday for the Hawkeyes' Sept. 2 season opener against Montana for violating team policy.

A statement released by Iowa said coach Kirk Ferentz would have no further comment on the suspensions.

Iwebema also missed the first week of fall practice for what Ferentz called "personal issues."

Iwebema, a 6-foot-4, 270-pound junior, is considered one of the nation's top defensive linemen. He is on the preseason watch list for the Ted Hendricks Defensive End of the Year Award after having seven sacks in 2005.

Grigsby, also a junior, is expected to play a major role in No. 16 Iowa's offense this season. He caught 25 passes last season for 335 yards and three touchdowns in a backup role.
