Update on Braelon Allen's Condition

In a recent press conference,  Wisconsin Head Coach Luke Fickell provided an update on Allen's injury status. When asked about Allen's condition and whether there was optimism for his return to practice, Coach Fickell remained cautious. He stated, "I don't know. We'll have to see. Last week he didn't do a bunch and it was going to be a game-time decision and we'll have to see this week." 

Coach Fickell went on to explain that while Allen did move around a bit recently, the team did not push him too hard in practice. " You know, I couldn't answer that. Obviously moved around a little bit last night, but we did not do a ton. So it wasn't like we could evaluate a lot of guys on anything that we did last night. Normally we do maybe a little bit more, but in the last two, three weeks of the season, sometimes Sundays become lighter and lighter and a little bit more mental work. So, we hope but we'll have to see."
