MADISON — Another week, another linebacker on the “list.”
No. 8 Wisconsin announced outside linebacker T.J. Watt, along with four other players, are questionable on its Monday injury report leading up to Saturday’s game at Northwestern.
Watt injured his left shoulder in Saturday’s 23-17 overtime win against previously undefeated Nebraska , though he returned later in the game. There’s still plenty of time between now and Saturday, but if the redshirt junior is not able to go, the defense would lose its leader in sacks (seven) and tackles for loss (9.5). Watt is currently third on the team in tackles with 42.
