Maryland football coach Mike Locksley said Tuesday that he does not know the status of four starters who sat out Saturday’s 27-24 overtime loss to Rutgers because of medical reasons and that sophomore quarterback Taulia Tagovailoa would not practice. But he also said that he would need to see Tagovailoa practice at least once to earn his confidence about starting Saturday against Michigan State.
Tagovailoa, junior inside linebacker Chance Campbell (Calvert Hall), freshman middle linebacker Ruben Hyppolite II and junior cornerback Jakorian Bennett were sudden scratches before Saturday’s game, and Locksley in his postgame comments did not confirm or deny a report that Tagovailoa, Campbell and Bennett had tested positive for the coronavirus.
