Not expected to start Saturday Edwards (knee) isn't expected to start Saturday at Michigan, according to Matt Zenitz of CBSSports.com.

Impact Edwards hasn't been taking QB1 reps on practice this week, with Danny O'Neil doing so, so it's not surprising to see Edwards as unlikely to start. He tried to play in Week 4 but only lasted a few plays. Now, Edwards is expected to take a backseat until he's fully cleared and ready to go. All signs point to O'Neil starting Saturday in Week 6.

Taking few reps in practice Edwards (knee) isn't taking the majority of reps in practice as Wisconsin prepares to face Michigan on Saturday, per Evan Flood of On3.com.

Impact Edwards has reportedly taken a backseat in practice during the lead-up to Week 6 against Michigan, with backup Danny O'Neil taking most of the QB1 reps. The Badgers tried to play Edwards in Week 4 against Maryland, but he clearly wasn't himself and came out of the game after a few plays. O'Neil, meanwhile, struggled, tossing for 120 yards and an interception against the Terps. As long as Wisconsin's offensive line remains a disaster, the Badgers are best avoided for fantasy purposes.

Questionable vs. Michigan Edwards (knee) is questionable for Wisconsin's tilt with Michigan in Week 6, per Evan Flood of On3.com.

Impact Edwards tried to give it a go against Maryland in Week 4, but was clearly still hobbled and only played a handful of snaps. That left Danny O'Neil to take the reins in a beatdown at the hands of the Terps. It's become clear that Wisconsin needs Edwards if it wants to be competitive, so his availability is massive for the upcoming road tilt with the Wolverines.

Impact Edwards, who missed each of the last two games due to a knee injury he suffered in Week 1, is still questionable for Saturday's contest. He will likely attempt to go through warmups to see if he can play. If he can't go, Danny O'Neil would make his third consecutive start.

Remains day-to-day Edwards (knee) remains day-to-day for Wisconsin, per Nick Osen of 247Sports.com.

Impact Edwards reportedly warmed up ahead of Wisconsin's game against Alabama on Saturday, but the quarterback didn't play as Danny O'Neil got his second straight start. Right now, head coach Luke Fickell is asserting that it's early in the week and the staff doesn't know his status. Still, it seems like the gunslinger has a better chance to suit up and play in Week 4, and there's added incentive as Wisconsin hosts Edwards' former team, Maryland.
