Wisconsin senior tight end Travis Beckum is still a game-time decision for Saturday when the 11th ranked Badgers play host to Marshall.
Beckum was back at practice Sunday, participating in both the individual and team routines after skipping last Saturday's 38-17 home-opening win over Akron while recovering from the hamstring injury he sustained during the preseason camp. He has been in and out of the Badger's practices all week.
"I think he will help us, not just in the red zone but everywhere," Badgers offensive coordinator Paul Chryst said of Beckum. "That's a good football player that we're not playing."
Other injured starters doubtful against the Thundering Herd are senior linebacker Jonathan Casillas and senior fullback Chris Pressley. Casillas is nursing a knee injury but did some drills the past few days. Pressley had a pin removed from his surgically repaired thumb Monday but practiced with the team the entire week.
