Saturday State Sports Briefs: Another UW assistant reported to be leaving

Wisconsin Sports
-- An inside source says wide receivers coach Zach Azzanni will be leaving the University of Wisconsin and moving to Tennessee.

MADISON - An inside source says wide receivers coach Zach Azzanni will be leaving the University of Wisconsin and moving to Tennessee.

The Volunteers of the SEC haven’t confirmed the deal yet. Azzanni’s hard-driving style won the hearts and minds of his players this year and he had made a strong impression, but it is becoming increasingly difficult for members of the Badger coaching staff to stay in Madison with the increasing uncertainty of the security of their jobs. Azzanni reportedly will join new Tennessee coach Bud Jones, a head coach he served under at Central Michigan from 2007 to 2009.

Another injury has cropped up on the Green Bay Packers’ offensive line. Guard Josh Sitton has a hip injury which flared up at practice yesterday – and coach Mike McCarthy said an evaluation this morning did not look good. As a result, Sitton is listed as questionable for Sunday’s NFC North Division battle at Chicago. It means he has a 50-50 chance of playing. Also, receiver Donald Driver is questionable with a lingering thumb injury – and linebacker Terrell Manning is also questionable with a shoulder injury. Receiver Jordy Nelson and defensive end C-J Wilson have been ruled out of Sunday’s contest, along with defensive back Charles Woodson – who did practice a little today. Linebacker Clay Matthews is listed as probable, and McCarthy expects the Clay-maker to have an impact – even though there might be a limit on his number of plays. It will be the first game for Matthews since November fourth, when he injured a hamstring against Arizona. Also, Mike Neal is probable along with T.J. Lang, Jerron McMillian, and Marshall Newhouse. McCarthy said he would decide tomorrow where Lang will play – either at his normal left guard spot, or at right tackle where he had been filling in for the injured Bryan Bulaga. Lang was hurt two weeks ago – and Don Barclay has done a good job filling in at the right tackle spot.
