MADISON, Wis. (AP) \u2014 It’s still uncertain whether Wisconsin quarterback Billy Edwards Jr. will be healthy enough to play this weekend against Maryland, his former team, coach Luke Fickell said Monday.<\/p>\n
Edwards has missed Wisconsin\u2019s last two games after spraining his knee<\/a> in the second quarter of a season-opening 17-0 victory<\/a> over Miami (Ohio).<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s just going to be day to day,\u201d Fickell said. \u201cI think he warmed up Saturday and has continued to do things for us.\u201d<\/p>\n Edwards transferred to Wisconsin<\/a> after playing for Maryland from 2022-24. He was Maryland\u2019s starting quarterback last season and completed 65% of his passes for 2,881 yards with 15 touchdowns and nine interceptions as the Terrapins went 4-8.<\/p>\n Danny O\u2019Neil<\/a> has filled in as Wisconsin\u2019s starting quarterback since Edwards\u2019 injury. The San Diego State transfer has completed 73% of his passes for 520 yards with five touchdowns and four interceptions. He also has a touchdown run.<\/p>\n O\u2019Neil went 11 of 17 for 117 yards with two interceptions and a touchdown pass Saturday in Wisconsin\u2019s 38-14 loss<\/a> at No. 14<\/a> Alabama.<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n Fickell said center Jake Renfro\u2019s status for the Maryland game on Saturday also is uncertain. Renfro missed a 42-10 victory<\/a> over Middle Tennessee on Sept. 6 with a knee issue. He played through the injury against Alabama but hurt his ankle in the process.<\/p>\n Saturday will be the Big Ten opener for both Wisconsin (2-1) and Maryland (3-0).<\/p>\n ___<\/p>\n Get poll alerts and updates on the AP Top 25 throughout the season.
