MADISON, WI (WSAU) – Linebacker Maema Njongmeta, who was spotted with his arm in a sling on Monday, recently underwent hand surgery, according to Badgers head coach Luke Fickell, though he is expected to still play against Buffalo on September 2nd.
“They say he’ll be back to practice when we go back to campus,” Fickell said on Monday, via The Camp’s Zach Heilprin. “Now, we’ll be smart. He’ll have a big club on his hand.”
Fickell continued by saying, “He’s played a lot of ball. He’s not one of those guys we rush to get back. But it’s hard on a guy who wants to be in on every single snap. We’ll hold him back a little bit, but we’ll have an opportunity to get him back here.”
Njongmeta will look to build off a strong season in 2022, recording 95 tackles, 11.5 tackles for loss, 1 interception, and 3.5 sacks.
