Overview

  • Edwards exited in the second quarter of the opener on a non-contact play and was ruled out with a lower-body injury.
  • Sources told ESPN and the Associated Press that imaging was clean and he is week-to-week with a sprained left knee, with no exact timetable.
  • Luke Fickell said after the game he had no firm update but noted Edwards being on the sideline in street clothes was a good sign.
  • Backup Danny O’Neil passed for 120 yards with a touchdown and added a rushing score as Wisconsin beat Miami (Ohio) 17-0 behind a defense that allowed 117 yards.
  • Wisconsin hosts Middle Tennessee next before visiting No. 8 Alabama, focusing attention on the starter’s availability after recent QB injuries to Tanner Mordecai and Tyler Van Dyke.
