Aaron Henry To Have Surgery; Miss Outback Bowl

While the previous news was that now-starting CB Aaron Henry could miss the Badgers' Bowl Game, the collective suspicion of all Badger football fans was unfortunately confirmed over the weekend. Bielema finally spoke on the situation this past Saturday and confirmed that Henry tore his ACL during practice. Henry will likely be having surgery after finals are complete, and he is scheduled to miss four-to-six months of action, effectively keeping him out of spring training camp as well.

Henry had replaced Allen Langford in the starting lineup after he had suffered the same injury against Ohio State back on November 3rd. Among the players being discussed to replace Langford and Henry in the starting lineup are Niles Brinkley and Josh Nettles, but early rumors are that the job is likely to go to Senior captain Ben Strickland.
