Wisconsin OL Logan Bruss, three other Badgers questionable for Purdue
MADISON, WIS. -- Wisconsin will head into its Big Ten West showdown with No. 25 Purdue with a key offensive lineman questionable to play.
UW (3-3 overall, 1-2 Big Ten) listed starting right tackle Logan Bruss with that designation on its preliminary status report on Monday. Tight end Clay Cundiff, inside linebacker Mike Maskalunas and outside linebacker Spencer Lytle join Bruss as questionable for Saturday's contest (2 p.m. CT, BTN) against Purdue (4-2, 2-1).
Bruss has not played since Wisconsin's loss against Michigan. Cundiff, Maskalunas and Lytle all did not play in the win versus Army last weekend.
UW also designates tight end Jack Eschenbach, inside linebacker Jordan Turner and outside linebacker Aaron Witt as out for this week.
Wisconsin's depth chart updates include true freshman Braelon Allen as the lone No. 2 running back behind Chez Mellusi with Isaac Guerendo (left leg) now out for the season. Cundiff, though questionable, sits as No. 2 tight end behind Jake Ferguson with Eschenbach out.

BRAELON ALLEN NAMED BIG TEN FRESHMAN OF THE YEAR
True freshman running back Braelon Allen claimed an honor on Monday, being named Big Ten Freshman of the Week by the conference. The first-year Badger ran for 108 yards on 16 carries with a touchdown.
That score, a 33-yard scamper to the end zone, allowed Wisconsin to take an early first half lead against Army on way to a 20-14 win on Saturday. Through four games, Allen has rushed for 288 yards on 46 carries (6.3 yards per attempt) with three touchdowns.
