Penn State linebacker Alex Tatsch out for the season due to injury

Alex Tatsch, a sophomore linebacker for Penn State football, will miss the remainder of the season because of injury. Tatsch sustained the injury during practice prior to the game against USC, missing that matchup and appearing in four games this season, with 11 tackles. His absence adds to the injury woes for the Nittany Lions, who are also without redshirt sophomore Max Granville for the season and are hoping star wide receiver Koby Howard can return soon. Defensive end LaVar Arrington II and linebacker Cam Smith may return before the end of October, but Tatsch’s loss is a significant setback as the team prepares for a road game against Michigan.
