Injury sidelines Badgers RB Braelon Allen for Minnesota game

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Wisconsin won’t have leading rusher Braelon Allen available for the Badgers’ regular-season finale Saturday with Minnesota.

The Badgers’ pregame status report lists Allen as out due to an injured right leg. Allen, who has been playing with a shoulder injury late this season, hurt his ankle last week in a 15-14 victory at Nebraska.

Allen has rushed for 1,126 yards and 10 touchdowns this season.

Wisconsin also will be playing the first half of Saturday’s game without star outside linebacker Nick Herbig, who was penalized for targeting in the second half of the Nebraska game. Herbig has 11 sacks this season and leads all Football Bowl Subdivision players with 1.1 sacks per game.

The injury to Allen likely will force Wisconsin to rely on Chez Mellusi and Isaac Guerendo to lead its rushing attack. Mellusi missed five games with a wrist injury this season before returning to rush for 98 yards against Nebraska.

Minnesota (7-4, 4-4 Big Ten) is attempting to beat Wisconsin (6-5, 4-4) in consecutive seasons for the first time since 1993-94. The Gophers beat Wisconsin 23-13 last season.

  • Boeing's problems are good for GE Aerospace: Analyst explains

    GE Aerospace (GE) has reported its first quarterly results since becoming an independent company after its spin-off from General Electric. The aerospace developer raised its 2024 profit forecast, buoyed by strong sales for jet engine parts and services. GE Aerospace shares are boosted in Tuesday's trading session after topping first-quarter earnings and revenue estimates. Argus Research President John Eade joins the Morning Brief to provide insights into GE Aerospace's performance. Eade describes the current period as "a good time right now for GE Aerospace" citing multiple tailwinds in the aviation industry — namely Boeing's (BA) production backlog and assembly concerns — coupled with the company's outstanding quarterly report, painting "a great story" for its future. Eade highlights that the separation into an independent entity allowed investors to "capture value" that was previously missing under GE's original broad business model. Shifting his focus to Lockheed Martin (LMT), Eade mentions that the aerospace manufacturer and defense contractor lacks "commercial exposure" and cannot grow as rapidly as GE Aerospace "despite the good news out of Washington" surrounding potential foreign aid packages to Israel and Ukraine. Eade ultimately recommends Lockheed Martin to investors looking for value. For more expert insight and the latest market action, click here to watch this full episode of Morning Brief.
