Danny O'Neil - At practice but not participating O'Neil (lower body) can attend practice but is not participating in it just yet, Seamus Rohrer of RotoWire reports.
Impact O'Neil was expected to be out until August, and with Wisconsin's fall camp underway, his absence has been prolonged. Due to inconsistent performance, he was in and out as the Badgers' starting quarterback last season, best defined by his even 5-5 TD-INT ratio. With a lower-body injury still affecting O'Neil, his current predicament leaves him even less time to work with the Badgers as their 2026 season inches closer.

Colton Joseph - Impressing in fall camp Joseph has impressed during Wisconsin's fall camp, Evan Flood of On3.com reports.
Impact Wisconsin's fall camp has commenced, and the Badgers have undergone offense-versus-defense drills, in which Joseph recently dominated UW's secondary. Not only did the quarterback excel at throwing but also running, showcasing what the Badgers signed up for when they recruited him. During his 2025 season for Old Dominion, Joseph logged 173 completed passes for 2,624 yards and 21 touchdowns; with his feet, he recorded 158 rushing attempts for 1,007 yards and an additional 13 TDs.

Nate Palmer - Impressing in fall camp Palmer is impressing in Wisconsin's fall camp, Evan Flood of On3.com reports.
Impact Palmer transferred from TCU this past offseason and joined Wisconsin in search of a larger role. Thus far, the redshirt sophomore running back has impressed coaches with his speed early in fall camp. Palmer will need to maintain that momentum as he competes for snaps in a crowded backfield.

Malachi Coleman - Taking first-team reps Coleman was observed taking the initial first-team reps Saturday, Evan Flood of On3.com reports.
Impact The Minnesota transfer saw plenty of action with the first team, which bodes well for his chances of seeing a larger role this season. The 6-foot-5 wide receiver will need to continue impressing the coaching staff if he wants to improve on opportunities after totaling five receptions for 83 yards across 7 games last season.
AUGUST 8 • ROTOWIRE
Shamar Rigby - Limited session Saturday Rigby (undisclosed) was limited for the Badger's during Saturday's practice, according to Evan Flood of On3.com.
Impact Rigby is dealing with an undisclosed injury, as he had limited involvement during practice Saturday and appears to have been restricted since fall camp opened. The wideout transferred from Oklahoma State after recording 25 receptions for 351 yards and one touchdown in 2025 and will use the remainder of fall practices to recover and compete for a starting role.
AUGUST 8 • ROTOWIRE
Bryan Jackson II - Dealing with minor injury Jackson did not take part in team drills Saturday, Evan Flood of On3.com reports.
Impact Running backs coach Jayden Everrett mentioned that Jackson is dealing with a minor injury and appears to be held out of precaution. In his absence, Nate Palmer got more opportunities. The junior running back is fighting for a role in the upcoming season after totaling 36 carries for 123 yards and four touchdowns across eight games last season.
AUGUST 8 • ROTOWIRE
Eugene Hilton Jr. - Showing early chemistry Hilton is connecting with starting quarterback Colton Joseph early in the Badgers' fall camp, Christian Borman of Wisconsin Badgers on SI.
Impact Hilton opted to return to Wisconsin showing his trust in head coach Luke Fickell, and he is now aiming to establish himself as a primary target for new starting quarterback Colton Joseph. The pair connected on multiple passes during Saturday's practice, topped by a 35-yard completion on a crossing route. With fall camp underway, wideout has an opportunity to climb a Badger receiving depth chart that currently lacks true No. 1 option.
