Wisconsin releases week 8 injury report for contest vs. Purdue

Eight players are ruled out, and seven others are listed as out for the season in Wisconsin’s injury report for week 8 vs. Purdue:

Madison, Wis. — On Monday, the University of Wisconsin released its official injury report ahead of its week eight matchup vs. the Purdue Boilermakers.

The unranked Wisconsin Badgers (3-4) are coming off a frustrating double-overtime loss at the hands of the Michigan State Spartans. 

Heading into week eight, UW has eight players ruled out due to injury against Purdue and seven others listed as out for the season.  

In a season of disarray, frustration, and underachieving, injuries have continued to ravage the Wisconsin Badgers. 

On the bright side, coach Leonhard mentioned that he expects starting right tackle Riley Mahlman, who has been injured since week one, to be back and available for Saturday’s contest vs. Purdue. 

UW will need as many healthy bodies on the field as possible this weekend as the Badgers look to turn things around and push for bowl eligibility.
