Wisconsin QB Tyler Van Dyke carted to locker room after sustaining right knee injury against Alabama

Wisconsin quarterback Tyler Van Dyke suffered a right knee injury early in the first quarter against No. 4 Alabama.

Van Dyke was injured while running toward the right sideline. He was struck as he went out of bounds, but the injury appeared to have occurred when he planted his right leg just before the contact occurred.

Van Dyke was visibly upset as he was wheeled back to the locker room on a cart. Wisconsin announced at halftime that he would be out for the rest of the game.

The Miami transfer is in his first year in Madison and started the first three games of the season for the Badgers. Van Dyke is playing his fifth season of college football after four years with the Hurricanes. His best season came in 2021 when he threw for 25 touchdowns and over 2,900 yards in just 10 games. He played in 11 games a season ago but threw 12 interceptions and threw for 2,703 yards.

Van Dyke was replaced by Braedyn Locke. The redshirt sophomore started three games for the Badgers a season ago and completed 50 percent of his passes for 777 yards and five touchdowns with one interception.
