No. 10 Penn State (7-1) and Maryland (5-3) have both released their pregame availability report ahead of Saturday’s 3:30 p.m. ET clash on FOX.

For the Lions, both Harrison Trey Wallace and Chop Robinson are out along with Mehki Flowers and Elliot Washington II.

Penn State defensive end Amin Vanover is questionable.

The focus of this report was always going to be on defensive ends Chop Robinson and Amin Vanover, as well as receiver Harrison Wallace. Robinson was carted from the sideline to the locker room at Ohio State two weeks ago. He was spotted outside the locker room in Columbus but hasn’t been spotted at any public team events until showing up with the team today. He is warming up as of 1:40 p.m. ET despite being listed as out.

Vanover, meanwhile, was hurt against the Buckeyes. He was listed as questionable before last week’s win over Indiana. Vanover warmed up against the Hooisers but did not play. However, he was back at practice this week. He is expected to be good to go. The same is not true for Wallace III. He was hurt early in last week’s victory. Later, his right arm was in a sling. His status for this week was in doubt ever since.
