The Wisconsin Badgers held their second practice of the spring on Tuesday, which was a run-heavy install day, allowing the team to display their deep running back room.

Leading the way was expected starter Chez Mellusi, who looked fresh despite recovering from a fractured fibula sustained in Week 4 of last season.

Initially, head coach Luke Fickell shared in February that Mellusi would be limited, if practicing at all, during spring ball as he recovered from the major injury.

However, the sixth-year running back has been active and the No. 1 option out of the backfield through the first two practices, boding well for his recovery.
