Wisconsin is off to a rough start to the 2021 college football season as the Badgers start with a 1-3 overall record.

Their most recent loss was at home 38-17 to No. 14 Michigan on Saturday. To make matters worse for Wisconsin, starting quarterback Graham Mertz was taken to the hospital following a chest injury during the game against Michigan.

Mertz was released from the hospital Saturday afternoon, according to ESPN’s Adam Rittenberg. However, Mertz’s playing status is currently unknown.

Mertz had thrown for 115 yards and one touchdown on 8 completions (out of 15 passing attempts) against Michigan. The defense of Michigan held Wisconsin to 210 total yards of offense, and only 12 first downs accounted for. The offense for Wisconsin turned the ball over 3 times to Michigan.

In four games this season, Mertz has thrown for 566 yards, 1 touchdown, and 6 interceptions on 56 completions (out of 95 passing attempts). If Mertz cannot play in Wisconsin’s next game on Saturday against Illinois, backup quarterback Chase Wolf would likely come in as the starter.
