After a dandy of a first game as starter for Wisconsin, redshirt freshman Graham Mertz tested positive for Covid, and could miss the next 21 days due to B1G policy (this would include the Michigan game):

Graham Mertz has tested positive for COVID-19, sources told the State Journal on Sunday. As with all positive tests that occur using the daily rapid antigen tests, Mertz will be taking a PCR nasal swab test in order to confirm his diagnosis. https://t.co/jWqrjaLamq

If it’s legit and not a false positive, #Wisconsin QB Graham Mertz would be out for 21 days. Michigan plays Wiscy in 20 days. https://t.co/fw6JAXCt4m
