Maryland quarterback Malik Washington is officially listed as questionable for the upcoming game against Wisconsin on November 14, a massive blow to the Terrapins as the Big Ten released its initial availability report.
Terrapins Facing a Quarterback Quandary
The news on Washington is the biggest takeaway from the entire report. He’s been called the “big name” on Maryland’s list, and his questionable status throws a huge wrench into their plans for Saturday. This isn’t just any player, it’s the starting signal-caller, and Maryland fans have every right to be sweating about what this means for their offense. A questionable tag leaves everyone guessing right up until kickoff, and that kind of uncertainty can shake up a game plan.
Badgers Catch a Break, Mostly
On the Wisconsin side, the availability report brought “no major surprises,” which is good news for the Badgers faithful. They listed a total of eight players on their report. Cornerback Cai Bates, offensive lineman Kevin Heywood, and tight end Emmett Bork are all confirmed out, marking at least their second straight week sidelined. Running back Nate Palmer and offensive lineman Barrett Nelson are doubtful. Safety Carson Van Dinter is also questionable, adding another name to watch. However, Wisconsin did get some positive news with cornerback Jai’mier Scott and defensive lineman Junior Poyser both listed as probable, meaning they are likely to suit up.
With the game set for November 14, all eyes will be on Maryland’s quarterback situation. Whether Washington takes the field or not will be the key factor shaping how this Big Ten showdown plays out, especially with Wisconsin’s relatively stable injury report.
