Wisconsin quarterback Tyler Van Dyke suffered a right knee injury early in the first quarter against No. 4 Alabama.
Van Dyke was injured as he ran toward the right sideline. He was hit as he was leaving the field, but the injury apparently occurred when he landed on his right leg just before contact occurred.
Van Dyke was visibly distraught as he was wheeled back to the locker room on a cart.
The Miami transfer is in his first year at Madison and started the first three games of the season for the Hurricanes. 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 last season 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 last season and completed 50 percent of his passes for 777 yards and five touchdowns with one interception.
