MADISON, Wis. — Badgers quarterback Graham Mertz has received a second positive COVID-19 test, according to a report from CBS Sports.
Mertz’s second positive coronavirus test means he will have to sit out of games and practice for 21 days as part of the Big Ten’s COVID-19 protocol. On Sunday, The Wisconsin State Journal reported that Mertz tested positive for the disease.
The Wisconsin State Journal report came just days after Mertz led the Badgers to a 45-7 victory over Illinois in the Big Ten opener on Friday.
