There's new Nyzier Fourqurean news in his effort to play Wisconsin football this year. He's filed a preliminary injunction with the district courts to play before his October 20th trial. The original date was scheduled to be the end of September, but it has been moved to the end of October, which would cause irreparable damage according to Fourqurean's lawyers, and thus the need for the injunction.
The case is going before Judge Conley with a requested expedited timeline, and news could be sooner than later for the star defensive back for the Badgers. If the courts rule in his favor, Fourqurean could play and practice as soon as the decision is made. If not ruled in his favor, he must wait until October for a final decision.
Wisconsin DB Nyzier Fourqurean has moved once again for a preliminary injunction that will allow him to play ahead of his October 20 trial date.

Should be really interesting to see how Judge Conley rules on this, given how his previous injunction was reversed on appeal. pic.twitter.com/aYjI32Zzs6

In plain English, what is happening is that Fourqurean and his attorneys are claiming that the timeline and the NCAA's inability to move quickly will ultimately cost Fourqurean. If he can't play this season or in these games, he will miss crucial opportunities for current and future revenue generation from his abilities.
The delays are causing irreparable damage to his current college career and future draftable prospects. The delays and even the back and forth are holding back potentially essential games and practices for his career. The original decision by the courts allowed him to play, causing him to withdraw from the draft or even pursue other opportunities.
When the NCAA was able to get it changed, and now the date isn't until the end of October, that's brutal for his ability to figure out his career when he's in his prime playing days.
The good news for Wisconsin is that if the courts rule in his favor, he could start immediately and would help with the much-needed ability of Fourqurean, but also give the Badgers depth that is not strong at the defensive back position.
