Cassius Winston expected back for Michigan State game vs. Illinois
East Lansing – Michigan State was playing it safe by keeping Cassius Winston out of the lineup during Sunday’s victory over Western Michigan, and considering some the injury issues the Spartans have had, it makes perfect sense.
Winston, who suffered a bone bruise in his left knee during a non-contact drill in practice on Friday, missed the first game of his MSU career and had a streak of 56 straight starts snapped. However, it’s likely it will turn out to be a one-game break as the senior should be back for the return to Big Ten play Thursday when No. 14 Michigan State hosts Illinois.
