The Wisconsin Badgers have luckily gone through the offseason without significant injuries to their top players, but some key ones popped up earlier this weekend, which has head coach Luke Fickell doubting whether a Week 1 return is possible.

The Badgers lost center Jake Renfro and tight end Riley Nowakowski to foot injuries, with the return date currently in the air, Fickell said when speaking to reporters following practice Saturday.

On Renfro’s sprained foot, Fickell believes the timetable will be around 3-4 weeks, which is past Week 1, which is coming up in just two weeks.
