Thirty-six-year-old Braun is in the final guaranteed year of his contract with the Brewers.

>>Packers WR Lazard Misses Practice With Core Muscle Injury

(Green Bay, WI)  —  Green Packers wide receiver Allen Lazard missed practice Thursday with a core muscle injury.  ESPN reported that Lazard underwent surgery and is out indefinitely.  He had a career game at New Orleans Sunday night, hauling in six passes for 146 yards and a touchdown.  Lazard stepped up with Davante Adams out and currently leads the team with 254 receiving yards through three games.  Adams has been battling hamstring injury but was listed as a “limited participant” at practice on the injury report Thursday.  The only healthy receivers on the active roster are Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Darrius Shepherd and Malik Taylor.  The Pack signed wideout Juwann Winfree to the practice squad Thursday.  He was a 2019 sixth round draft of the Denver Broncos out of Colorado and appeared in three games last season.

>>Players’ Families, UW Staff Could Attend Badger Football Games

(Madison, WI)  —  The Big Ten is not allowing fans at football games this fall – but there will be some people in Camp Randall Stadium rooting for the Badgers.  The U-W athletic department says family members of players and football staff are expected to be in the stadium for the October 24th opener against Illinois.  Senior associate athletic director Jason King said it will be fewer than 15-hundred people.  About 400 families of the visiting team will also be allowed.  Big Ten football players and staff members will undergo rapid COVID testing daily . The same tests also will be given to all those whose jobs require them to be on the field during games.
