The Wisconsin Badgers faced some difficult news on Tuesday, as head coach Luke Fickell announced that starting left tackle Kevin Heywood will ‘probably’ be out for the season after tearing his ACL.
“Obviously, I think he’s gonna have to have surgery,” Fickell said about Heywood. “We’re probably going to lose him and probably not going to get him back obviously, even for the season. So that was one that’s going to be really difficult and tough, but, it’s also a part of the game.”
The news deals a huge blow to Wisconsin’s offensive line, which went injury-free in 2024 and was the biggest key to the offense.
