The NFL season is officially underway, and some former Michigan State football stars are getting ready to start their 2025 seasons strong.
There are over a dozen Spartans in the NFL, and one of them actually kicked things off on Thursday night in the Eagles vs. Cowboys game. Ben VanSumeren, a former Michigan State linebacker by way of rival Michigan, suffered a knee injury on the opening kickoff of the 2025 season and was unfortunately carted off the field.
There's no word on how serious the injury is, but it was in a non-contact situation with his knee.
