No. 18 Wisconsin has released its depth chart for Saturday’s battle with No. 12 Notre Dame. Included in the two-deep are inside linebacker Leo Chenal, cornerback Faion Hicks and safety Collin Wilder, all players who missed the Badgers win over Eastern Michigan.

Chenal was out the first two weeks with COVID-19, while Hicks and Wilder were unavailable only for Week 2’s victory.
The return of the three impact starters is key for Jim Leonhard and his plans to stop Jack Coan and the Notre Dame offense, especially the two players in the back end.

We will now wait and see as the week progresses whether Wisconsin will indeed be fully healthy entering Saturday. It is worth noting that in the team’s initial injury report both Hicks and Wilder are listed as questionable.
