EAST LANSING — Nick Samac trotted out with his helmet and wearing his gear, then began to work on his own as Michigan State football practice amped up on the opposite field.
Mel Tucker said during the first week of preseason camp that the Spartans’ veteran starting center was sitting out. He was nowhere to be found during the Big Ten Network’s inside look at practice that aired Tuesday.
But the fifth-year senior jogged out Wednesday during the 15-minute open portion of practice, then met with reporters afterward.
How much time he spent working with the offensive line Wednesday and what specifically he is dealing remain unknown, other than Samac admitting to “a little upper body thing” he’s been dealing with during the offseason.
