Derrick Tindal has surgery on hand; not expected to miss significant time
By Lorin Cox | Oct. 4, 2016The Wisconsin Badgers have another defensive starter going under the knife as junior Derrick Tindal had surgery on his right hand Tuesday, the team confirmed. A team official described it as a minor procedure, and Tindal is not expected to miss the team’s next game against Ohio State. Tindal did not leave last Saturday’s game against the Michigan Wolverines with any injury, and he registered his third interception of the season off of a pass tipped by redshirt sophomore linebacker Jack Cichy in the third quarter. When Tindal spoke to reporters after the loss, he did not appear to have anything wrong with his right hand, so this surgery comes as a surprise entering the Badgers’ bye week.
