Michigan State head coach Pat Fitzgerald provided no information regarding team injuries during his pregame press conference on Monday. The Spartans are scheduled to open their season against Toledo this Friday at 8 p.m. ET. Fitzgerald indicated that he will not share injury details until the mandatory availability report is released on Friday, just hours before kickoff. He noted that official Big Ten policy only requires such disclosures before conference matchups, rather than non-conference season openers. While the lack of an announcement leaves the team's health status unclear, the head coach has not confirmed any long-term absences from fall camp. Supporters will have clarity on the full roster status by 7 p.m. ET on Friday.
