EAST LANSING -- If the Michigan State depth chart can be taken as a hint, injured right tackle Kodi Kieler might be close to returning. He's on it this week, as a co-starter, after he didn't appear a week ago.
Kieler has been out since injuring his knee in the second game, against Oregon. Left tackle Jack Conklin missed Saturday's 24-21 win over Purdue with a knee injury suffered against CMU a week earlier.
The No. 4 Spartans (5-0, 1-0 Big Ten) actually have co-starters at every single offensive line position on the depth chart entering Saturday night's game at Rutgers (2-2, 0-1).
