5 Key Players MSU Could Get Back From Injuries vs. Washington
Michigan State has had about as ugly a season as it gets when it comes to injuries.
The Spartans (3-6 overall, 1-5 Big Ten) have felt pretty short-handed nearly all year. Head coach Pat Fitzgerald has said a few times this season that he's never seen so many injuries in his coaching career. There have been third-stringers and even fourth-stringers who have started at certain spots for Michigan State in 2026.
There is a shot that MSU gets some key contributors back this Saturday against Washington (5-4 overall, 2-4 Big Ten). Five different players have been listed as either "doubtful" or "questionable" on the team's midweek availability reports so far.
