Wisconsin football: UW suffers multiple injuries in win over Rutgers

While the No. 21 Wisconsin Badgers will undoubtedly be happy leaving New Jersey with a win over Rutgers, there was some bad news that came out of the game too. Starting RB Chez Mellusi, starting OG Jack Nelson and freshman WR Markus Allen all left the game with injuries and didn’t return.

Mellusi suffered his leg injury in the third quarter and it was of the dreaded non-contact variety. The running back, who transferred from Clemson ahead of this season, spend a ton of time in the injury tent on the sideline before being walked back to the locker room by Chris Orr.
