The Wisconsin Badgers are in Las Vegas as we speak getting ready for Thursday’s contest against the Arizona State Sun Devils.
Jeff Potrykus of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported this week that the team had been affected by the recent surge of COVID-19, though there weren’t many specifics of who was sick.
We likely won’t see those updates until close to game time. But we do now see reports from beat writers on which players are practicing in Las Vegas, which are limited and which did not make the trip.
To sum it up:
- DE Matt Henningsen is not in Las Vegas, but is set to arrive Tuesday
- TE Jack Eschenbach is out (inury)
- OT Logan Bruss and C Joe Tippmann were limited at practice (Tanor Bortolini & Cormac Sampson were taking first-team reps)
- FB John Chenal is not in Las Vegas and is out for the game
- RB coach Gary Brown is not in Las Vegas (non-COVID-19 illness), though may arrive for the game

TE Jack Eschenbach is out for the game (injury)
