Wisconsin offers update on TE Clay Cundiff, who left Iowa game in ambulance
Wisconsin got a scare Saturday when tight end Clay Cundiff suffered what appeared to be a gruesome leg injury in the Badgers 27-7 victory over No. 9 Iowa.
Cundiff was carried off in an ambulance to the hospital Saturday and Sunday, the team offered an update on his condition. The tight end apparently left the hospital Saturday night but no other details about his injury or when he may return was given.
Update: #Badgers TE @clay_cundiff10 was transported to UW Hospital for evaluation and treatment after suffering a right leg injury.
Cundiff was released from the hospital this evening. Further treatment for his injury and a timeline on his recovery are to be determined.

That’s not unusual, most colleges don’t release injury reports right away and Wisconsin may be trying to get a second opinion from their doctors before releasing Cundiff’s information.
So far this season, Cundiff has caught 3 passes for 86 yards and 1 touchdown.
Based on the nature of the injury, it seems unlikely that Cundiff would be able to return in 2021. A more detailed report will likely come in the next few days.
