Practice is now closed in Madison.
Quarterback has Hornibrook healthy, but one bad hit and concussion protocol means they turn to either a true frosh or rs frosh, neither who has shown enough to be named the backup yet.
Running back
Badgers lost top two backs to the NFL in Clement and Ogunbowale and Taiwan Deal missed all Spring and is now hurt again. Bucky may have to rely on Shaw, a guy we passed on, and James, a guy who couldn't crack the lineup at Pitt and transferred to Madison.
Wide receivers
Heading into the third week of camp, Ted Gilmore’s unit has been dealt some injuries that have prevented three of the top five options from taking the field. Seniors Jazz Peavy and George Rushing have been out this past week with left leg injuries—Peavy since Tuesday and Rushing since Thursday.
Rushing’s health will be something to continue watching due to the fact he’s on crutches and sporting a boot on his leg. A UW official confirmed on Saturday that redshirt freshman Kendric Pryor, who played well in the spring and at the start of fall camp, was out due to an injury sustained in a moped accident. Wisconsin has also been without true freshmen Cade Green and Emmet Perry for good chunks of fall camp due to injuries as well. They don’t give timetables for returns on the injury report, so it will be interesting to see who returns when the media is given player availability.
Tight ends
Zander Neuville been laid up with a right leg injury since last Saturday.
Offensive line is patched together with projects at tackle and heavy on youth.
They are trying to teach former guard/center Dieter to be a tackle.
“You can’t fix everything at one time,” Rudolph said on Saturday. “I think he’s cleaned something up each practice. I think he’s playing at his best right now, which is pretty good. He’s doing a pretty good job."
Badgers are using redshirt freshman Tyler Biadasz at center.
The two guard spots appear to be split between redshirt junior Beau Benzschawel who has worked at right guard with the first-team for the first two weeks, while redshirt sophomore Jon Dietzen and redshirt junior Micah Kapoi have been working with the starters at left guard.
Reps for redshirt sophomore Jason Erdmann were also speckled in there before his shoulder injury on Thursday.
“Dietzen is fighting through something but he hasn’t missed a practice,” Rudolph said.
Redshirt sophomore David Edwards will assume the role of right tackle, he is a a former tight end.
For reserve tackles, redshirt freshmen Cole Van Lanen and Patrick Kasl worked in.
