The Wisconsin Badgers are expected to have a major change in their defensive line room, as a report from BadgerExtra revealed that starter James Thompson Jr. has suffered an upper-body injury and is out indefinitely.
Thompson was one of the returning starters on the Badgers defense, and the team was relying on him to take a step up after the defensive line did not have the best year in 2023.
The injury is significant, as Wisconsin’s depth along the defensive line was going to be tested regardless, and will now face an even bigger challenge without their top contributor available.
