Wisconsin RB Abu Sama's status remains in question for Michigan State

Abu Sama's availability for Wisconsin's Homecoming game against Michigan State remains uncertain, with his status listed as questionable for the third consecutive day. The running back suffered an upper body injury during Wisconsin's 24-20 victory over Penn State on September 26 and did not return to the game. Should Sama be unable to play, junior Darron Dupree is expected to take over.

Last week, Dupree contributed 52 yards on eight rushing attempts and added four receptions for 44 yards. The Big Ten will publish the available report starting four days before the game, which is updated daily with gameday updates released two hours prior to kickoff. Wisconsin (3-1, 1-0 Big Ten) and Michigan State (2-2, 0-1) are set to face off at 11:30 a.m. on Saturday, October 3.

Neither team made any changes in their availability from Day 2 to Day 3 of the report. For Wisconsin, cornerback Cai Bates, receiver Jaylon Domingeaux, and offensive lineman Michael Roeske are listed as out, while running back Mason Lane is questionable. For Michigan State, cornerback NiJhay Burt, running back Cam Edwards, and linebackers Keshawn Williams, Tyran Chappell, and Cam Slodghill are all doubtful, with additional players marked as questionable.
