The injury bug continues to plague one member of Michigan State’s offensive line.
During Monday’s Big Ten coaches teleconference, head coach Mark Dantonio revealed that David Beedle “will be out for probably about a month.” The fifth-year senior suffered an unspecified injury to his left arm early on in the Week 6 loss to Northwestern and didn’t return.
This season, Beedle suffered an unspecified injury in Week 2 that severely limited him the next two weeks. Last season, he missed three games because of a knee injury.
With a one-month timeline, Beedle would likely miss games against No. 8 Penn State (Oct. 13), No. 12 Michigan (Oct. 20), Purdue (Oct. 27) and Maryland (Nov.3). The lineman could then be in line to return for the Nov. 10 game against No. 3 Ohio State.
When healthy the past two years, Beedle has started 18 games at the Spartans. Four of those starts came at left guard this season.
Following the 2017 season, Beedle was named third-team All-Big Ten.
