Aidan Chiles - Hopeful to be available vs. Terps Chiles (foot) wasn't cleared to play in Michigan State's loss to Iowa, but head coach Jonathan Smith is hopeful the quarterback will be available against Maryland, per Chris Solari...

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.

Alante Brown - Good to go Saturday Brown is good to go Saturday at Iowa, per the Big Ten availability report.

Impact Brown, who has not played since Week 2 due to a lower body injury, will finally be able to make his return to the field at Iowa. It's unclear exactly how much he'll be involved, but at least he's finally over that long-term injury.

NOVEMBER 22 • ROTOWIRE

NOVEMBER 22 • ROTOWIRE

Makhi Frazier - Out for Week 13 Frazier (undisclosed) is out for Saturday's game at Iowa.

Impact For 2025, Michigan State's second-to-last game will not include Frazier. The running back has broken out this year with at least 100 carries, 500 rushing yards and two touchdowns. After the Spartans play at Iowa, their next game is scheduled for Nov. 29 against Maryland.

Nick Marsh - Held in check in defeat Marsh accrued two receptions (on eight targets) for five yards during Saturday's 28-10 defeat to Penn State.

Impact It was a forgettable afternoon for Marsh as the Spartans were largely held in check, totaling just 128 passing yards on the day. The 6-foot-3 receiver saw eight targets on the day but with quarterback Alessio Milivojevic running for his life from a dominant Penn State front seven, it was nearly impossible to get anything going. Marsh will hope for better days as a rough season continues to wind down in East Lansing, with a road matchup against Iowa serving as his next opportunity on Saturday.
