MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- Wisconsin receiver Marcus Randle El will miss the 2006 season after injuring his right knee.
Randle El hurt his knee at practice Wednesday afternoon. An MRI exam Thursday showed he had damage to ligaments that would require surgery. No further details were provided.
"Everyone in our football program feels for Marcus and supports him and wishes him a speedy recovery," coach Bret Bielema said in a statement. "As is the case any time someone is injured, it leaves a spot for someone else to step in and contribute so we don't miss a beat. That's what I expect to happen."
Randle El, a junior and brother of Washington Redskins receiver Antwaan Randle El, has three receptions for 36 yards and four punt returns for 57 yards during his career. He was expected to handle some of the return duties this season.
