Now that game day is officially here for Michigan State football, that means the weekly availability report has been made public, and there are a few more players ruled out than we expected.
Earlier in the week, Jonathan Smith hinted that two kickers may be out, but Tarik Ahmetbasic was a game-time decision, and so was starting safety Nikai Martinez. Both of those game-time decisions have been announced, and a few other Spartans were also listed as 'out' for Friday's game.
Check out who the Spartans ruled out for Friday's game against Western Michigan:
MSU AVAILABILITY REPORT:
S Nikai Martinez is OUT
Kickers Martin Connington and Tarik Ahmetbasic are also OUT, which means Michigan State will ride with third-stringer Blake Sislo.
