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.
