Wisconsin linebacker Chris Orr will miss the remainder of the season due to a knee injury that he sustained against LSU on Saturday, the university announced.

Ryan Connelly and Jack Cichy will split time at linebacker in his absence. The team is also expected to get T.J. Edwards back from a foot injury soon.

Orr may be eligible for an extra year of NCAA eligibility due to a medical hardship waiver as he was only in the game for one play.
