Hospitalized Iowa Football Players Getting Better

A spokesperson says the players have rhabdomyolysis, a stress-induced muscle syndrome that can damage cells and cause kidney failure in severe cases. The cause hasn't been determined, but all the players had an intense workout before getting sick. All the players are "in safe and stable condition" and responding well to treatment.
