The biggest news of the week is the loss of linebacker Jordan Turner, who’s believed to be in concussion protocol.
Expect Maema Njongmeta to re-join the starting lineup next to Jake Chaney in Turner’s place.
Elsewhere, another key designation is for defensive end James Thompson Jr., who has quietly emerged as a top player for the Badgers on that front.
If he cannot go, it’d be a blow for the Badgers defensive line, who is looking to be more consistent on a weekly basis.
Cornerback Nyzier Fourqueran remains with a questionable designation after suffering an injury versus Rutgers. He was listed as questionable against Iowa, but did not suit up.
Stay tuned for the live coverage of today’s game!
