D’Cota Dixon among four Wisconsin defensive backs still questionable for Illinois

The Wisconsin Badgers released their updated injury report on Thursday morning, just over 48 hours away from their homecoming match-up against the Illinois Fighting Illini.

Who plays in Wisconsin’s defensive backfield is still up in the air, as safeties D’Cota Dixon (right leg), Scott Nelson (right leg), and Reggie Pearson (left leg), plus cornerback Faion Hicks (left leg), are still listed as questionable heading into this weekend’s contest against the Illini (11 a.m. CT, FS1).

Reserve cornerback Travian Blaylock (right leg) has been downgraded to out for the game, while inside linebacker Griffin Grady has been taken off the injury report altogether.
