MADISON – This wasn’t a complete bill of good health, but it was a step in the right direction for the Wisconsin football team.
Javan Robinson, the team’s top cornerback, has been upgraded to probable for the Badgers' game against No. 15 USC on Oct. 24 at Camp Randall Stadium. The fifth-year player was listed as questionable for the game on the first two availability reports of the week, a reason for concern as Wisconsin prepared to face the No. 2 passing offense in the Big Ten.
Robinson was listed as probable on the Oct. 23 update to the availability report. Also, center Austin Kawecki, who did not play against UCLA last week due to a hand injury, remains probable for the game.
The final report for the game will be released two hours before the contest's 6:30 p.m. kickoff.
Here are the complete lists for each team.
Wisconsin Badgers
Out: cornerback Cai Bates.
Questionable: receiver Malachi Coleman, running back Nate Palmer.
Probable: center Austin Kawecki, running back Darrion Dupree; cornerback Javan Robinson.
USC Trojans
Out: receiver Terrell Anderson, receiver Corey Simms, safety Kendarius Reddick, linebacker Taylor “Taybo” Johnson, linebacker Roman Marchetti; offensive lineman Killian O’Conner.
