Injury updates for Alabama football at Wisconsin

MADISON, Wis. – The No. 4 Alabama football team faces its first road test of the season in Wisconsin.

During the Badgers' first drive of the game, starting quarterback Tyler Van Dyke was forced to leave the game with an apparent knee injury after being tackled by Alabama's Keanu Koht with 11:00 minutes left in the first quarter. Van Dyke immediately went to the injury tent and was then placed on a cart and taken to the locker room.

Backup redshirt sophomore Braedyn Locke came in at quarterback for Van Dyke. Wisconsin couldn't gain any more yards after Locke arrived, but Nathanial Vakos kicked a 53-yard field goal to give Wisconsin an early 3-0 lead.

Van Dyke is playing his first season as a starter at Wisconsin after playing four years at Miami. The senior had 406 yards and one passing touchdown on the season before Saturday's game. Before his injury, he was 5 of 5 passing for 19 yards against Alabama.

This story will be updated throughout the game with injury updates and postgame commentary from the coaches.
