  "account": "The Wisconsin Badgers have been informed of two significant injury updates ahead of their Week 1 game against Notre Dame. According to ESPN's Pete Thamel, starting right tackle Kevin Heywood is anticipated to take the field against the Fighting Irish. However, the news is not entirely positive, as starting right tackle Emerson Mandell is not expected to participate due to a foot injury. Both players missed considerable time during training camp, leading to a state of uncertainty regarding their availability. Heywood, who is 6-9 and weighs 320 pounds, suffered an injury during the second day of camp, which kept him sidelined for the entire 2025 season. Mandell, who started 12 games last year for the Badgers, was also a key contributor.",
