East Lansing, Mich.Michigan State released its week 10 availability report early Saturday morning ahead of kickoff against Nebraska at noon. The Spartans will be without three starters on offense, including tight end Maliq Carr, wide receiver Tre Mosley and left tackle Brandon Baldwin. Carr will miss his second straight game for non-injury related reasons.

Depth at receiver should not be an issue for the Spartans despite Mosley not suiting up. Michigan State used seven wide receivers in last weekend’s defeat to Minnesota.

The Spartans will have a shortage of options to replace Baldwin at left tackle. Starting right tackle Spencer Brown could swap sides. Additionally, redshirt freshman Ashton Lepo played six snaps last weekend in a reserve role. Former backup left tackle Keyshawn Blackstock entered the transfer portal in October.

Noah Kim remains out for the second week in a row. The redshirt junior quarterback lost his starting role following the Spartans’ loss to Iowa in week five.

As part of new Big Ten policy, each conference team is required to release an availability report two hours prior to kickoff of every game. Teams list players as either “questionable” or “out.” 

Michigan State listed 12 players as out: cornerback Charles Brantley, tight end Maliq Carr, cornerback Semar Melvin, quarterback Noah Kim, defensive tackle Jarrett Jackson, wide receiver Tre Mosley, defensive end Bai Jobe, linebacker Darius Snow, running back Davion Primm, cornerback Marqui Lowery, defensive tackle Dre Butler and left tackle Brandon Baldwin.

Michigan State will continue to be short on bodies at running back. Senior running back Jordan Simmons entered the portal last month. Davion Primm is sidelined for the second straight week, while Jalen Berger and Joseph Martinez are out for the season.

Jarrett Jackson and Dre Butler remain out, leaving the Spartans light at defensive tackle.

Linebacker Jacoby Windmon, running back Jalen Berger, running back Joseph Martinez, linebacker Ma’a Gaoteote, safety Armorion Smith, offensive guard Gavin Broscious, tight end Tyneil Hopper, offensive tackle Stanton Ramil and defensive tackle Alex VanSumeren remain out for the season
