Published:
Wisconsin could be without its starting defensive end this Saturday when the Badgers host Florida Atlantic.
On Wednesday, Jeff Potrykus of the Journal Sentinel reported that Chikwe Obasih suffered a leg injury in practice and his status for this week’s matchup is unknown. It is not expected to be a season-ending injury.

The Badgers have already lost a pair of linebackers, as Jack Cichy and Zack Baun are out for the 2017 season.
Obasih had just one tackle in Wisconsin’s season opener against Utah State. The defensive end finished the 2016 campaign with 22 tackles and 1.5 sacks.
