Northwestern Football Injury Report ahead of Las Vegas Bowl: Updates on Chris Petrucci, Duke Olges, and more

The Northwestern Wildcats face the Utah Utes in the Las Vegas Bowl on Saturday at 7:30 p.m. ET. The Wildcats season was middle of the road, finishing with a 7-5 overall record and 5-4 Big Ten record. They were second in the Big Ten West standings, three games behind the non-stellar Iowa. However, having a bowl year was a surprise for a program that went 1-11 in 2022.

They face a Utes team that showed glimpses of greatness at several points of the season, with them even getting into the top 10 during the first few weeks of the season. They finished 8-4, with a 5-4 conference record, in their final season in the Pac-12. Utah sorely missed quarterback Cam Rising, with the school having to go with a two-quarterback system for much of the season.

The Las Vegas Bowl will be played in Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada. The Utes are heavy 6.5 points favorites for this one. A victory here would be a huge success for Northwestern after last year's hazing scandal.

Here's a list of some of Northwestern's injuries ahead of the bowl showdown. No important contributor will be missing the game against Utah on Saturday night.
