Wisconsin quarterback Billy Edwards Jr. is expected to miss his second straight game on Saturday at No. 19 Alabama, ESPN reported Thursday.
Danny O’Neil likely will be under center again for the Badgers (2-0) after throwing for 283 yards and three scores in last week’s 42-10 win against Middle Tennessee.
Edwards sustained a knee sprain in the season-opening 17-0 win against Miami (Ohio) on Aug. 28 and is regarded as day-to-day.
A sophomore transfer from San Diego State, O’Neil has completed 35 of 46 passes (76.1 percent) for 403 yards, four touchdowns and two interceptions in two games this season.
After facing the Crimson Tide (1-1) in Tuscaloosa on Saturday, the Badgers will host Maryland on Sept. 20 and have a bye week before visiting No. 23 Michigan on Oct. 4.
