Impact Chiles hasn't played in the last three games for Michigan State. He was initially benched for Alessio Milivojevic, but he's also been dealing with a foot injury that's kept him unavailable. Even if Chiles is available for Week 14, it's unclear if he would get the start.

Foot injury causing absence Chiles is out for Saturday's game against Penn State because of a foot injury, Chris Solari of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Impact Chiles was seen wearing a boot around his left foot, which indicates why Week 12 will not include the quarterback's services. Up next for him would be a Nov. 22 game at Iowa.

Out vs. Penn State Chiles (undisclosed) isn't available against Penn State on Saturday.

Impact It was reported earlier Saturday that Chiles wouldn't start against the Nittany Lions, paving the way for Alessio Milivojevic to draw the start for the Spartans once again. Without Chiles available, however, Michigan State will have to look elsewhere for a backup quarterback.

NOVEMBER 15, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Not starting Saturday Chiles will not start Saturday's game versus Penn State, Pete Thamel of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Alessio Milivojevic will start his second straight game Saturday, placing Chiles as the backup for the second game in a row. Milivojevic threw for more yards in his one start than Chiles has thrown in any game this season, so the decision is not entirely surprising. It's unclear if Milivojevic has captured the job for the rest of the season or if Chiles has a chance to take the job back if Milivojevic struggles.

May be re-inserted as starter Chiles may re-assume his role as QB1 for Michigan State against Penn State on Saturday, per Jim Comparoni of Rivals.com.

Impact Chiles was benched for Alessio Milivojevic ahead of Michigan State's overtime loss to Minnesota. Chiles has struggled at times this season, and Milivojevic certainly played well against the Gophers, tossing for 311 yards and one touchdown while completing 71.4 percent of his throws. It remains a process for the Spartans this week to determine their starter, and it's a possibility that there's packages for both gunslingers.

Lindsey's OT touchdown run helps Minnesota deny Michigan State first Big Ten win with 23-20 victory

Drake Lindsey scored on a 3-yard run in overtime and Minnesota denied Michigan State its first Big Ten Conference win of the season with a 23-20 victory

NOVEMBER 1, 2025 • Associated Press

Not starting Saturday Chiles will cede starting quarterback duties to Alessio Milivojevic in Saturday's game at Minnesota, Stephen Brooks of 247Sports.com reports.

Impact After struggles at the quarterback position from Chiles in the past few weeks, the Spartans will give freshman Alessio Milivojevic a shot. In his last four games, Chiles completed 58 of 101 passes for 524 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions.

NOVEMBER 1, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Rock bottom in EL Chiles completed 14 of 28 passes for 130 yards during Saturday's 31-20 defeat versus Michigan. He also had 15 rushes for negative seven yards with one touchdown.

Impact Though his stats were not his worst totals of the season, Chiles and the Spartans may have reached rock bottom against the Wolverines on Saturday. The 6-foot-3 quarterback struggled throughout the game, completing just 50 percent of his passes for 130 yards while losing a fumble on the opening drive of the contest. Though he managed to find the end zone on a one-yard plunge in the second quarter, he finished with -7 rushing yards as a result of four Michigan sacks on the day. With things quickly taking a turn for the worse in East Lansing, Chiles will be hard to rely on moving forward, with his next opportunity coming against Minnesota on Saturday.

The 6-foot-3 quarterback found the end zone on a 15-yard scoring strike to receiver Nick Marshin the second quarter, giving the Spartans a 10-7 lead at the time. Chiles will hope to get back to his early-season form when the Spartans host rival Michigan on Saturday.
