MADISON, Wis. — Wisconsin quarterback Graham Mertz left Saturday’s 38-17 loss to No. 14 Michigan after he was sacked early in the third quarter.

The Badgers said Mertz and tight end Jake Ferguson went to the locker room with chest injuries.

Michigan’s Daxton Hill sacked Mertz on a third-and-9 play in the first series of the third quarter. Mertz was on the ground for a couple of minutes before heading to the sideline, entering the medical tent and going to the locker room.

Michigan was leading 13-10 at the time Mertz was injured.
