Injuries to Landisch, Trotter, D'Cota Dixon -- who's only 5'10 and 206 pounds and a converted defensive back, but can be used in certain subpackages?
The depth at linebacker is concerning due to the injuries, but if Landisch and others can get back on the field, this corp is athletic and intelligent enough to make some splashes this season.
Who exactly will play?
The injury bug hits football teams during this part of fall camp, and the Badgers have not been immune to it. Fox Sports Wisconsin's Jesse Temple noted at one point that he saw 17 players out of practice last week. Andersen stated Friday that the scrimmage will be reduced to 60 to 70 plays, and you can expect starting "rover" inside linebacker Jazz Peavy?
Two players who might see their first scrimmage action, barring re-injury or being held out for other reasons, are senior wide receiver Kenzel Doe and true freshman Taiwan Deal. Doe's returned from a "twinge" in his ankle and practiced with the first-string offense from what was seen to the media on Saturday, and Deal was forced to sit as well with injury.
Linebackers: who steps in to make some noise?
