Penn State vs. Wisconsin availability report

Penn State released a relatively favorable availability report ahead of its game at Wisconsin on Saturday night, as the Nittany Lions appear to be reasonably healthy to face the Badgers at Camp Randall Stadium.

No. 3 Penn State has added a new player to its list of those who are “out,” according to the Big Ten Availability Report released before the game. Freshman running back Quinton Martin Jr. is out, becoming the third Nittany Lions running back to miss time this season. Redshirt freshman Cam Wallace is out with a “long-term” injury that moved Martin to the No. 3 role behind Nicholas Singleton and Kaytron Allen. If Penn State uses a third defenseman at Wisconsin, it would be true freshman Corey Smith, who hasn't played yet this season.

Receiver/punt returner Kaden Saunders is out again, as are players with “long-term injuries” who have missed multiple games, including Safety KJ Winston and tight end Andrew Rappleyea. There are no Penn State football players listed as “questionable” on the availability report.

“I think overall we’re in a pretty good position,” Franklin said this week about his team’s health. “We had something like that all season. We had an initial wave of problems. I kind of got through it and from that point on I think we were in pretty good shape.”

Penn State has had some injury issues in both the short and long term this season, but appears to have benefited from the off week afterward Overtime win at USC. Singleton, linebacker Dom DeLuca and offensive linemen Sal Wormley and Anthony Donkoh, all of whom missed time this season, are available to the Badgers.
