For the first time in his three seasons at Michigan State, defensive tackle Malik McDowell missed a game because of injury when a bad left ankle kept him from suiting up against Rutgers last Saturday.
Whether or not the junior is back this weekend when No. 2 Ohio State visits Spartan Stadium is up in the air at this point. McDowell wasn’t listed on the depth chart released on Tuesday and coach Mark Dantonio said it was because of the uncertainty of the situation regarding McDowell’s injury.
“Right now, he's probably – he's out, but we'll see,” Dantonio said.
