The Wisconsin Badgers (5-3, 3-2 Big Ten) and Iowa Hawkeyes (5-3, 3-2 Big Ten) are now just over one hour from the kickoff of their primetime Week 10 matchup.
The contest is set to begin at 7:30 p.m. ET, 6:30 p.m. CT at Kinnick Stadium in Iowa City, Iowa. Iowa has released its final injury status report with those minutes continuing to count down before kickoff.
The Hawkeyes will be without two quarterbacks, previous starter Cade McNamara and depth option Marco Lainez, while starting tight end Luke Lachey is considered to be ‘questionable.’ Brendan Sullivan will draw the start at quarterback and if Lachey is unable to go, that’d make his job that much harder.
The Badgers will once again be without WR Tyrell Henry, who’s operated as one of their return specialists in 2024, so S Hunter Wohler will likely return punts again in Week 10. Additionally, starting WR Bryson Green is listed as ‘questionable’ for the second week in a row as he looks to return to the field for the first time since Oct. 5 versus Purdue.

Iowa QB Cade McNamara injury update
McNamara was benched in the second half of the team’s 40-14 win over Northwestern in Week 9 and he’ll now be forced to miss Week 10 completely as a result of an undisclosed injury. Brendan Sullivan will draw his first start of the season after transferring to Iowa ahead of the 2024 campaign.
Iowa TE Luke Lachey injury update
Lachey was a late add to the injury report for the Hawkeyes and it’s unclear what is ailing him. The tight end is a big part of Iowa’s success in both the passing and running games on offense and his absence would be a big blow for Kirk Ferentz and his squad.
