Wisconsin faces injury concerns for multiple starters against Notre Dame
Summary

The Wisconsin Badgers head into Sunday's game against Notre Dame with several key players dealing with injuries. Wide receiver Jaylon Domingeaux is questionable due to an injury, potentially shifting the rotation for other receivers. Offensive linemen Kevin Heywood and Emerson Mandell are also considered game-time decisions for the non-conference matchup. Should Heywood be unavailable, Lucas Simmons-Johansson is expected to step in at right tackle, while Stylz Blackmon is slated to replace Mandell at right guard if necessary. The team has not released a formal depth chart and was not required to provide specific injury statuses prior to the two-hour window before kickoff. Wisconsin continues to prepare for the contest while aiming to establish its run game under quarterback Colton Joseph.
