A.J. Taylor Ruled Out for the Season

The Badgers will be without wide receiver A.J. Taylor for the remainder of the season due to a right leg injury.

Wisconsin will be without senior wide receiver A.J. Taylor for the rest of the season as Taylor will miss the rest of the season because of a right leg injury.

Taylor suffered the injury in Wisconsin’s win over Minnesota as he caught a pass along the sidelines in the first half before falling out of bounds.

With Taylor done for the season, he finishes his senior year with 23 catches for 267 yards and two touchdowns. Taylor also carried the football six times for 34 yards.

In his career at Wisconsin Taylor caught 89 career passes for 1,316 yards and 10 touchdowns. With his best statistical season coming last year when he caught career highs in both receptions (32) and receiving yards (521).

When the preliminary injury report was released on Monday Taylor was listed as questionable along with redshirt senior David Moorman and sophomore cornerback Rachad Wildgoose.

On the injury report that was released on Friday Moorman and Wildgoose were both listed as questionable with a left leg injury.

If Moorman can’t go redshirt sophomore Kayden Lyles will fill in at left guard and Caesar Williams who had four pass breakups and an interception against Minnesota will likely get the start in the Big Ten Championship Game against Ohio State.

The Badgers and Buckeyes are set to kickoff at 7 p.m. on Saturday night as the game can be seen on Fox.

Three Players Listed as Questionable Heading into Big Ten Championship Game

Wisconsin lists three players as questionable heading into the Big Ten Championship Game against Ohio State.

Heading into Wisconsin’s rematch against Ohio State in the Big Ten Championship game the Badgers ruled three players as questionable in A.J. Taylor (right leg), David Moorman (left leg), and Rachad Wildgoose (left leg).

Wildgoose missed the game against Minnesota while Taylor and Moorman both had to leave the game early against the Gophers.

Moorman has started the last six games and seven overall this season and if he can’t go on Saturday he’ll be replaced by redshirt sophomore Kayden Lyles at left guard.

True freshman Semar Melvin who made his first career start against Minnesota likely will play in his fourth game this season if Wildgoose can’t go.

Melvin despite being responsible for giving up the first touchdown to Rashod Bateman bounced back as he finished the game with one tackle and one pass breakup.

Wisconsin lost to Ohio State earlier this season 38-to-7 in Columbus, their second straight loss at the time before winning their final four games. Wisconsin and Ohio State will kickoff at 7 p.m. as the game can be seen on Fox.
