UW’s Baun out indefinitely with foot injury

Wisconsin Badger outside linebacker Zach Baun is out indefinitely after injuring his left foot during spring practice on Friday.

Baun, who missed the 2017 season after suffering a broken left foot in late August, was watching practice on Tuesday while wearing a protective boot.

JSOnline’s Jeff Potrykus reported that UW officials are waiting for the results of an MRI to determine the severity of the injury but it appears they are optimistic Baun didn’t re-break the foot.

Baun entered spring ball expecting to win a starting spot at outside linebacker and had been working with the first unit.  Without Baun, the Badgers are expected to line up Andrew Van Ginkel and walk-on Tyler Johnson.

Van Ginkel finished eighth in tackles last season with 39 and collected a pair of interceptions, one in the Big Ten Championship game and the other in the Orange Bowl.  he also forced two fumbles.

Johnson had eight tackles and two fumbles last season.

The Badgers have five practices left this spring and will play their annual Spring Game on Friday evening at Camp Randall Stadium.

After losing inside linebacker Jack Cichy for the season with a knee injury, Wisconsin coach Paul Chryst announced the loss of redshirt sophomore outside linebacker Zach Baun with a foot injury.

Baun totaled 15 tackles in a reserve role last season.  With Baun out, redshirt sophomore Tyler Johnson moves up to the No. 2 defensive unit, opposite junior-college transfer Andrew Van Ginkel.  Seniors Garret Dooley and Leon Jacobs are expected to start Friday’s opener against Utah State at Camp Randall Stadium.

Tyler Johnson played quarterback at Menasha High School, where he passed for 1,466 yards and 20 touchdowns and rushed for 1,521 yards and 20 touchdowns as a senior, leading the Blue Jays to the WIAA Division 2 state title.
