A game wasn’t the only thing Michigan State lost this past weekend.
At some point in the second half of Saturday’s loss to Wisconsin, starting outside linebacker Jon Reschke sustained an injury to his ankle. Tuesday, head coach Mark Dantonio described the as a severe ankle sprain, and, as a result, Reschke will be sidelined “for a significant period of time.”
A year after starting all 14 games for the Spartans, Reschke started two of the first three this season. The junior missed the season opener because of another injury.
The news wasn’t completely negative on the linebacking front for Sparty, though.
Riley Bullough missed the Badgers game with an undisclosed injury. Dantonio labeled Bullough as “day-to-day” and left the door open for the starting middle linebacker to play against Indiana Saturday.
A decision on the status of Bullough, who entered Week 4 tied for the team lead in tackles, will be made later on in the week.
