Wisconsin quarterback Billy Edwards Jr. (9) is tended to after being injured during the second quarter of their game against Miami (Ohio) Thursday, August 28, 2025 at Camp Randall Stadium in Madison, Wisconsin.

Overview

  • Wisconsin announced Edwards would not return against Miami (Ohio) after suffering a lower-body injury.
  • The injury occurred on a handoff to Tyrell Henry, and Edwards limped to the medical tent before heading to the locker room.
  • Before departing, Edwards was 6-of-13 passing for 68 yards, and the Badgers held a 3-0 lead.
  • O’Neil, who started 11 games for San Diego State last season, replaced Edwards at quarterback.
  • Edwards was making his Badgers debut after throwing for 2,881 yards and 15 touchdowns for Maryland in 2024, as Wisconsin’s recent quarterback injuries under Luke Fickell add context to the concern.
