The Wisconsin Badgers are scheduled to face the Washington Huskies on Saturday, with kickoff slated for 3:30 p.m. at Camp Randall Stadium.
Two weeks ago, the Badgers faced off against the No. 6 Oregon Ducks,
fighting hard, but ultimately falling short in a 21-7 loss. In that game, Wisconsin was significantly depleted with several starters out due to injury.
After a bye week, the situation isn’t looking much better for Wisconsin against Washington. Here’s the full Injury Report:

RB Darrion Dupree
OL Kerry Kodanko

RB Cade Yacamelli
OLB Evan Van Dyn Hoven
OL Kevin Heywood

It’s a hefty list for the Badgers. Linebacker Christian Alliegro and safety Preston Zachman remain out. They join running back Dilin Jones, center Jake Renfro, and safety Matthew Traynor, who were ruled out for the season this week.
Additionally, running back Cade Yacamelli is out, putting a hit on the Badgers’ running back room. Darrion Dupree is questionable, and the Badgers will need him to play. If not, it’ll be a heavy dose of Gideon Ituka, who will get a good amount of carries regardless.
Kerry Kodanko is questionable after being out against Oregon. If healthy, he could slot in at right guard.
With Alliegro out, expect freshmen linebackers Mason Posa and Cooper Catalano to see significant snaps once again after some quality performances against Oregon. With Zachman out, it’ll probably be a heavy dose of Austin Brown and Matt Jung at safety.
The Badgers have a lot to deal with on the injury front. We’ll see how well they can hold up against Washington.
