Matt Jung injury update, Wisconsin safety carted off field vs Maryland
Wisconsin safety Matt Jung exited Wisconsin's Week 11 game vs. Maryland near the end of the second quarter. Here's the latest.
Wisconsin football has suffered a setback with the injury of starting safety Matt Jung during a game against Maryland on Saturday, Nov. 14. The injury occurred during the second quarter, as Jung exited the field on a cart after an apparent leg issue. Despite spending considerable time on the field tending to his injury, Jung's status remains questionable.
Matt Jung, a fifth-year safety from Neenah, has been a pivotal player for the Badgers' 2026 defense. He started in every game and was the team's third-leading tackler before the Maryland match, trailing only linebackers Cooper Catalano and Mason Posa. The loss of Jung further compounds Wisconsin's injury woes, which included fellow defenders Posa and cornerback Javan Robinson suffering injuries during the same first half.
Additionally, defensive back Sebastian Cheeks missed the Maryland game due to a practice injury. Fans and analysts will likely be eager for updates on Jung's recovery and the team's overall injury situation.
