Michigan State releases availability report vs. Maryland
Michigan State will be without one of its starting offensive linemen on Saturday against Maryland, according to the Spartans’ availability report. Kristian Phillips has been ruled out for the matchup.
Phillips shined against Florida Atlantic last week, but is one of six Spartans players ruled out for Week 2. Gavin Broscius is likely to get looks at right guard in his place.
Three Michigan State players are on the report and dealing with long-term injuries, head coach Jonathan Smith said earlier this week. That includes Dillon Tatum, who could be out for the year.
On the Maryland side, MJ Morris will not suit up for the Terrapins after leaving with an injury last week. The Terps will also be without tight end Preston Howard, according to the availability report.

Smith previously confirmed three Spartans players would be out for the long haul. He said Tatum and Majeed were facing uphill battles to come back, while Brown will hopefully make his return down the final stretch in November.
“Alante Brown will be hopeful to maybe November coming back. Khalil Majeed doubtful to come back. Dillon Tatum, at least a couple of months, if not for the year,” Smith said during his weekly press conference on Monday. “Those three guys, which is a blow, with all three of them contributing, playing awesome, feel really bad for them, but they are longer-term injuries.”
Michigan State started the season with a 16-10 victory over Florida Atlantic last week. The Spartans will look to build on that performance Saturday afternoon in College Park.
