Caleb Bacon Injury Update: Iowa State Football LB Injures Leg vs. North Dakota

Iowa State football linebacker Caleb Bacon injured his leg in the first half of Saturday's game against North Dakota.

The extent of the injury is unknown at this time.

Bacon was injured while making a tackle in the second quarter.

He was helped off the field by trainers and did not return to the game.

Iowa State head coach Matt Campbell said after the game that Bacon would be evaluated further on Sunday.

Bacon is a key member of the Iowa State defense.

He started all 13 games last season and led the team in tackles.

Bacon is a preseason All-Big 12 selection this year.

The injury to Bacon is a blow to the Iowa State defense.

The Cyclones are already without starting linebacker Gerry Vaughn, who is out with a knee injury.

The loss of Bacon could force Iowa State to make some changes to its defense.

Iowa State will be back in action next Saturday against Iowa.

The game will be played at Jack Trice Stadium in Ames, Iowa.

The Cyclones will be looking to bounce back from their loss to North Dakota.
