Dante Booker's consecutive missed games streak is now at five.
The junior outside linebacker made the trip to Madison but is wearing sweatpants and standing on the sideline during warmups Saturday night ahead of No. 2 Ohio State's showdown at No. 8 Wisconsin. He will not play against the Badgers.

Booker has not seen the field since the season opener against Bowling Green when he sprained his knee. Urban Meyer said on Wednesday he was questionable.
Booker's injury initially was diagnosed as a sprained MCL but Meyer said it was worse than initially thought. In addition to the sprained MCL, Booker also sprained his PCL.
Sophomore Jerome Baker started in place of Booker for the last four games and is slated to do so again on Saturday. Baker has 26 tackles (3.5 for loss), 1.5 sacks and an interception in 2016.
