FORT WORTH, Texas -- Iowa State’s offensive line has taken yet another hit.

Cyclones starting left tackle Jaypee Philbert Jr. has been suspended and will miss Saturday’s game at TCU. Philbert was suspended for a violation of team policy, an Iowa State spokesperson said Friday afternoon.

Philbert, a junior, started Iowa State’s first two games of the season. He played in 10 games for the Cyclones last season.

Iowa State’s offensive line has already been a major concern for the Cyclones. The Cyclones entered the season with just six career starts combined on the offensive line — the third-fewest in the nation.

Philbert Jr. is the second starter on the unit to miss time with a suspension. Redshirt freshman Julian Good-Jones missed the season-opener due to violation of team policy.
