The University of Wisconsin football program unveiled its preliminary status report Tuesday morning, and one player appears closer to returning to the field.
UW (5-5, 3-4 Big Ten Conference) listed outside linebacker Aaron Witt (right leg) as out for this Saturday's game against Nebraska (3-7, 2-5) in Lincoln (11 a.m., ESPN).
Running back Chez Mellusi (right wrist) was not on this week's report. The senior from Naples, Florida, suffered the injury during the Badgers' road win at Northwestern. He has rushed for 223 yards on four yards per carry with one touchdown in six games this season.
