Report: Wisconsin QB Tyler Van Dyke (knee) out for year

Wisconsin quarterback Tyler Van Dyke suffered a right knee injury Saturday that will keep him out for the rest of the season, the Wisconsin State Journal reported Monday.

Van Dyke, a fifth-year senior who transferred from Miami, was hurt on a third-down scramble on the seventh play of the game during the Badgers’ 42-10 loss to visiting Alabama.

After a visit to the medical tent, Van Dyke was carted to the locker room and reappeared during the second half with crutches and a knee brace.

Braedyn Locke played the rest of the game and figures to be the No. 1 quarterback for Wisconsin going forward.

Van Dyke completed 43 of 68 passes for 422 yards and one touchdown while adding a rushing touchdown in parts of three games this season. In four years at Miami, Van Dyke threw for 7,469 yards, 54 touchdowns and 23 interceptions over 32 games.

Wisconsin QB Tyler Van Dyke hurt on opening drive against Alabama

Wisconsin starting quarterback Tyler Van Dyke was carted off the field after being injured on the opening drive against No. 4 Alabama on Saturday in Madison, Wis.

The extent of Van Dyke’s injury has not been announced.

Miami QB Tyler Van Dyke to return from injury vs. Virginia

Miami will have starting quarterback Tyler Van Dyke back this week for the Hurricanes’ home game against Virginia on Saturday.

Van Dyke missed last Saturday’s 28-20 double-overtime win over Clemson due to an undisclosed injury. Miami coach Mario Cristobal said Monday that Van Dyke was “good to go” and practiced earlier in the day.

“Last week caught us off guard during the week,” Cristobal said. “He doesn’t have anything that’s serious, but if it takes a certain turn it can delay you, so that’s really what ended up happening. We’re in a good place right now.”

In his fourth season playing for the Hurricanes, Van Dyke has completed 70.5 percent of his throws for 1,721 yards, 16 touchdowns and six interceptions for Miami (5-2, 1-2 ACC).

In Van Dyke’s absence, freshman Emory Williams completed 24 of 33 passes for 151 yards, one touchdown and one interception in Miami’s win over Clemson.
