MADISON - Wisconsin senior tight end Zander Neuville is expected to miss the remainder of the season because of a left-knee injury suffered this past week in practice.
UW coach Paul Chryst revealed Neuville’s status last Thursday morning.
Neuville suffered a torn ACL in his right knee in the 2017 regular-season finale at Minnesota.
He was cleared for full workouts on camp in August but battled a hamstring injury and missed the opener. He started in Week 2 against New Mexico and in Week 3 against BYU.
Neuville suffered a right-ankle injury against BYU and was limited in the Big Ten opener at Iowa.
According to Chryst, Neuville returned after the week off feeling completely recovered.
"He was feeling great," Chryst said. "Best he had felt. You feel like you’re out of that tunnel. There’s light."
Neuville then injured his left knee during practice on Tuesday, though UW officials weren't initially sure of the severity of the injury. Considered best blocking tight end.
