From quarterback to linebacker, Wisconsin football has ‘dinged up’ players
Wisconsin's injuries and 'dinged up' players seem to be quickly adding up at some key positions in the first two weeks of the 2026 season.
In the first two weeks of the Wisconsin football season, the team has experienced a number of injuries at key positions. Wide receiver Malachi Coleman and linebacker Mason Posa both left the Badgers' 36-9 win over Western Illinois with injuries. Posa could have returned to the game if needed, but Coleman was not able to. Quarterback Colton Joseph and running back Abu Sama III also reported feeling "dinged up" from previous games.
Joseph, who has been the team's presumed starter since January, was not ready to play during Tuesday's practice due to a significant hit he sustained in the Badgers' 41-13 loss to Notre Dame. Sama made an immediate impact with two early touchdowns, but after three carries, he only had five more opportunities for the remainder of the game.
