MADISON, Wis. – No news is good news for the Wisconsin Badgers on the injury front this season.

After losing a few players to season-ending injuries earlier in the year and having a few key players miss time with nagging injuries the Wisconsin Badgers are heading in to their homecoming game against Illinois with the same injury report from Monday’s press conference.

Sophomore right tackle Jacob Maxwell is questionable with a shoulder injury after he missed last week’s game against Northwestern with the same injury, and fullback Austin Ramesh is also listed as questionable with a shoulder injury.

Should Maxwell miss another game freshman tackle David Edwards would be in line for another start at right tackle, and sophomore fullback Alec Ingold would get the start at fullback.

Nose tackle Olive Sagapolu is projected to miss his fourth straight game with an arm injury that he suffered during Wisconsin’s 30-23 loss to Ohio State in mid-October. Defensive end Conor Sheehy and nose guard Garrett Rand have filled in for Sagapolu in the middle of Wisconsin’s 3-4 defense since Sagapolu’s injury.
