He got dinged up at practice Thursday, but it’s not expected to be a long-term injury. Cheeks has been outstanding this season and leads the team in tackles for loss (9) and sacks (7).
With all of the question marks surrounding teams even making it to their games, Wisconsin was happy to report that it landed at BWI earlier in the day.
That said, they're stuck dealing with a major injury issue that sees Mike Tressel's defense down Cheeks.
According to Temple, Cheeks "got dinged up at practice Thursday, but it's not expected to be a long-term injury."
With only two games remaining after this one, UW is hoping for a speedy recovery to the senior linebacker.
