Wisconsin releases week 3 injury report for contest vs. New Mexico State
Madison, Wis. — On Monday, the University of Wisconsin released its official injury report ahead of its week three matchup vs. the New Mexico State Aggies.
The unranked Wisconsin Badgers already have eight players ruled out due to injury for week three and four others listed as out for the season.
The Badgers’ secondary has already gone without its No. 1 cornerback Alexander Smith for the year’s first two games. Now, it appears he will miss a third consecutive game after being quickly ruled out for their week three matchup against the Aggies.
It’s also worth noting that starting right tackle Riley Mahlman, who didn’t play against Washington State, isn’t listed on the injury report – signaling a chance of returning in week three. Logan Brown filled in at tackle during his absence, turning in an uneven performance.
Here is a look at Wisconsin football’s injury report for Week 3:
