Illini Linebacker Out

Some late news on a missing ingredient for Illinois' defense tomorrow, as noted in Rittenberg's ESPN Big 10 blog this evening. Click here for the report. The absence of sophomore Martez Wilson may bring a bit more breathing room for CJ and company, as Wilson is second on the Illini squad with 73 tackles, first in quarterback hurries, and fifth with three sacks. Senior Sam Carson is expected to get the start in Wilson's absence.
