Wisconsin injury report vs. Rutgers: Badgers without starting wide receiver

Wisconsin (3-2, 1-1 Big Ten) has released its final status report before Saturday’s game at Rutgers (4-1, 1-1 Big Ten).

The Badgers will be without starting wide receiver Bryson Green, as well as veteran safety Kamo’i Latu and depth receiver Tyrell Henry.

Green left Wisconsin’s 52-6 win over Purdue with a lower-body injury and did not return to the game. C.J. Williams will likely see an increased snap count in Green’s absence.

Latu and Henry, meanwhile, have both been depth options through the first five games of the season. Their absences will see others step into the primary backup roles at safety and wide receiver, respectively.

Other players listed as ‘out’ include QB Tyler Van Dyke (out for the season), DL James Thompson Jr. (out indefinitely), RB Chez Mellusi (no longer with program), OL Leyton Nelson, TE Rob Booker and WR Joseph Griffin Jr. (ineligible for season).

Outside linebacker Aaron Witt is the only player listed as ‘questionable.’

Wisconsin and Rutgers will kick off at noon ET, 11 a.m. CT on the Big Ten Network and streaming on Fox Sports.
