Wisconsin coach Paul Chryst isn't discussing quarterback Graham Mertz's status following reports that the redshirt freshman has tested positive for COVID-19.
"I will not, cannot and should not, therefore, comment about anything dealing with our testing and coronavirus," Chryst said Monday.
Chryst did say he was confident the ninth-ranked Badgers' game Saturday at Nebraska (0-1) would go on as scheduled.
The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel and Wisconsin State Journal both reported that Mertz had tested positive. The Journal-Sentinel reported Mertz's positive test came Saturday, one day after the Badgers' 45-7 season-opening home victory over Illinois.
