Wisconsin starting left tackle Kevin Heywood will miss the remainder of the 2026 season, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported on Saturday, November 7, 2026. The news was confirmed by reporter John Steppe. No specific details regarding the nature of Heywood's injury were disclosed in the initial report.
Heywood's absence creates a significant hole on the Badgers' offensive line for the rest of the campaign. The team will need to adjust its protection schemes and run-blocking assignments moving forward.
