  "account": "The Wisconsin Badgers have listed four players as questionable for their upcoming game against No. 14 Penn State on September 26. These players include running back Abu Sama, receiver Malachi Coleman, running back Bryan Jackson, and right guard Emerson Mandell. Sama had missed last week's game due to a shoulder issue and was expected to return this week, while Mandell played for the first time last week after missing all of fall camp due to a foot injury. Coleman is recovering from a head injury. The Badgers also have five players listed as probable for the game: linebacker Mason Posa, receiver Eugene Hilton, quarterback Danny O'Neill, and right tackle Kevin Heywood. The Big Ten has recently changed its availability report process, releasing reports four times each week, beginning three days before the game, and updating the reports twice and once before the matchup. The gameday availability report will be announced two hours before kickoff.",
