In addition to ongoing certainty around Alex Hornibrook’s status, the Wisconsin Badgers on Monday ruled out two key contributors for Saturday’s game against the Rutgers Scarlet Knights.
Head coach Paul Chryst said during Monday’s press conference that Hornibrook is still in concussion protocol. If he cannot go, expect second-year quarterback Jack Coan to again start this week.
When asked why Hornibrook was not on the Thursday injury report last week, Chryst simply responded, “Yeah, I just didn’t want to.”
With Hornibrook inactive against Northwestern last Saturday, Coan went 20-of-31 for 158 yards and one touchdown as the Badgers fell to the Wildcats 31–17.
