The Wisconsin Badgers haven't had the top tight end on their depth chart all season. After a bye week of extra rest, Tucker Ashcraft is just about ready to return to action.
The Wisconsin Badgers went down a tight end halfway through preseason camp but may have quickly found the solution short-term. Tucker Ashcraft, back-up tight end and expected core part of the offensive rotation, suffered a lower body injury during camp that has left him in a boot.
Wisconsin Badgers tight end Tucker Ashcraft was on crutches after suffering a lower body injury earlier this week at fall camp practice. UW officials said he will be out for the remainder of fall camp, but they didn't have an update on his status for Week 1 against Miami (OH).
The Wisconsin Badgers staff announced that a key tight end will be shutdown for the rest of fall camp following an injury in practice. Tucker Ashcraft, arguably the second overall tight end on the roster behind Lance Mason, suffered a lower body injury during practice that gave the staff a scare.
The Wisconsin Badgers need more out of the tight end position in 2025. They'll have to do it without their top option, in the short term. Team officials announced Thursday that junior tight end Tucker Ashcraft will miss the remainder of fall camp with a lower body injury he suffered earlier this week.
