Impact There is no indication that Dike's injury is believed to be anything serious, but Rudner notes there is no information on when the senior wideout is expected to shed his non-contact jersey either. Dike transferred in to Gainesville this offseason after four years at Wisconsin, and he figures to claim a regular role in the offense, given his familiarity with starting quarterback Graham Mertz, a fellow Wisconsin transfer.

Impact Dike will look to improve his statistical output during 2024. As an undergraduate student, Dike's best season was his 2022 campaign, when he logged 47 receptions for 689 yards and six touchdowns.

Getting first-team reps Dike is warming up with the first-team offense ahead of Saturday's game versus Northwestern, Jeff Potrykus of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Impact Dike seems set to return to action Saturday after missing last week's contest with a knee injury. The senior wideout has caught 16 passes for 282 yards and one touchdown across his eight appearances this season.

NOVEMBER 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Sporting brace in early warmups Dike (leg) has a brace on his right knee during early warmups, Jeff Potrykus of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Impact Dike is one of three key offensive contributors for the Badgers who were listed as questionable on the injury report, joining Tanner Mordecai (hand) and Braelon Allen (ankle). It appears as though Dike could be back in action Saturday, though he may be operating at less than 100 percent if so.

NOVEMBER 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Listed as questionable Dike (leg) is officially ruled questionable ahead of Saturday's matchup with Northwestern.

Impact Dike missed last week's game vs. Indiana after suffering an injury in Week 9 vs. Ohio State. The senior wideout has 282 yards and a touchdown on 16 grabs this season. Bryson Green, Skyler Bell and CJ Williams could all see larger roles if Dike is ultimately sidelined again.

NOVEMBER 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Game-time decision Saturday Dike (leg) will likely be a game-time decision for Saturday's matchup with Northwestern, Jeff Potrykus of The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Impact Dike, who was forced out during Wisconsin's 24-14 loss to Ohio State with a leg injury in Week 9, will likely come down to a game-time decision for the Badgers. The 6-foot-1 senior has tallied 16 receptions for 282 yards and one touchdown across eight appearances in 2023. If Dike is ultimately unable to suit up, CJ Williams and Bryson Green should have additional opportunities for targets.

Won't play Saturday Dike (leg) isn't in uniform for Saturday's game versus Indiana, Zach Heilprin of 1670AM The Zone Madison reports.

Impact Dike left last week against Ohio State and will miss at least an additional contest to recover from the issue. On a positive note, he did partake in early warmups, so he could be back in action next week versus Northwestern.

NOVEMBER 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Sits out Sunday practice Dike (leg) did not participate in Wisconsin's team practice Sunday, Jeff Potrykus of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Impact Dike attended Wisconsin's team practice as a spectator. For now, his availability status is questionable as the Badgers prepare to begin their November by playing at Indiana on Saturday.

OCTOBER 30, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Unlikely to return Saturday Dike (leg) is unlikely to return to Saturday's game versus Ohio State according to the NBC broadcast.

Impact Dike's leg was rolled onto in the second quarter and head coach Luke Fickell told the broadcast team that he will likely not play for the remainder of the game. With Braelon Allen also unlikely to return, the Badgers' offense is losing two major contributors versus Ohio State.
