Wisconsin starting left tackle 'doubtful' on Big Ten availability report
UW did not have many names on the Big Ten availability report for its game with Rutgers Nov. 7, but the list did include a starting offensive lineman.
Madison, Wisconsin – The availability report for the upcoming football game against Rutgers has unveiled a significant uncertainty. The Badgers' left tackle, Kevin Heywood, is listed as doubtful for the match, scheduled to take place at 3:15 p.m. on November 7 at Camp Randall Stadium, according to UW Communications. The injury affecting Heywood is located in his lower body.
Remarkably, Heywood seemed in good health during Wisconsin's defeat on October 31 against Iowa, playing every offensive snap and partaking in post-game interviews. This shows his fitness despite the injury. Standing at 6-foot-9 and weighing 320 pounds, Heywood has been the Badgers' leading offensive lineman throughout the season, having returned from a right foot injury that had sidelined him for much of camp and the first game.
The report includes only five names, with sophomore tight end Emmett Bork also listed as out. Rutgers' availability report is considerably longer, with standout quarterback Dylan Lonergan and captain Kwabena Asamoah, who started the first eight games at right guard, both marked as out. Additionally, receiver KJ Duff is considered doubtful.
