  "account": "Michigan State football coach Pat Fitzgerald updated the injury status of linebacker Jordan Hall. The Spartans began their season strong with a 35-7 victory over Eastern Michigan, without Hall due to an arm injury. Instead, redshirt sophomore Brady Pretzlaff stepped up, recording eight tackles and displaying leadership skills. Following the game, Fitzgerald provided an update on Hall's condition: \"Jordan was really close to playing today. The medical team told us late in the week that he was not cleared to play. I expect that in practice tomorrow he would be ready to go.\" Hall's absence highlighted the team's cautious approach, which may be beneficial for his long-term health. Fitzgerald expressed hope that Hall could return for the next game against Notre Dame, allowing the team to pair him with the rising star Pretzlaff.",
