The Wisconsin Badgers defeated the Purdue Boilermakers 38-17 on Friday night, securing their first win in Big Ten play, but the victory was marred by the unfortunate injury to running back Chez Mellusi, which did not look good at first sight.
Mellusi, who has battled injuries throughout his career, had enjoyed a strong start to the season, rushing for 307 yards and four touchdowns on 51 carries, but is now at risk of potentially missing out on the remainder of his final collegiate season following the injury.
Following the game, head coach Luke Fickell provided an update on Mellusi, who was taken for X-rays after the game and reportedly traveled back with the team late Friday night.
