MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Wisconsin quarterback Tyler Van Dyke was carted into the dressing room after an injury during the opening drive against No. 4 Alabama on Saturday.

Van Dyke was holding his right knee after injuring it in a third-down fight. He was taken to the injury tent on the sideline and then placed in the cart. The Miami transfer had his head in his hands as the cart headed toward the locker room.

At halftime, Wisconsin announced that Van Dyke would be out for the remainder of the game. Van Dyke was on crutches on the Wisconsin sideline at the start of the second half.

Braedyn Locke, who started three games last season in place of the injured Tanner Mordecai, took over for Van Dyke.

Van Dyke had relocated to Wisconsin after an up-and-down career in Miami. Van Dyke was named the Atlantic Coast Conference Rookie of the Year in 2021, but threw 12 interceptions last season while battling multiple injuries.

He won a preseason competition with Locke for Wisconsin’s starting spot. Van Dyke completed 60.3% of his passes for 406 yards with one touchdown and no interceptions in his first two games and led the Badgers to a 28-14 win over West Michigan and a 27-13 triumph about South Dakota.

Van Dyke had completed his first five passes for 16 yards against Alabama before he was injured.
