Michigan State football could have WR Alante Brown back against Iowa

EAST LANSING – Michigan State football talked about winning its bye all week.

Rest and recovery times helped. The Spartans enter Saturday night's game against Iowa about as healthy as they have been all season.

There are no new names on MSU's pregame injury report for kickoff at 7:30 p.m. (NBC). And the Spartans could potentially get back one of their long-term losses early in the season, as wide receiver Alante Brown is listed as questionable for the first time since suffering an upper-body injury in the opener against Florida Atlantic.

Brown, a fifth-year senior, caught a pass for 15 yards against FAU and returned a kickoff for 33 yards.

Three players remain out: defensive back Dillon Tatum (lower body), cornerback Chance Rucker (arm) and wide receiver Antonio Gates Jr. (unknown). Along with Brown, defensive end Avery Dunn (unknown) returns to the questionable list after sitting out five of the first six games and only appeared in a loss to Ohio State on Sept. 28.

MSU also has four players out for the remainder of the season: tight end Michael Masunas (shoulder), defensive back Khalil Majeed (lower body) and offensive linemen Kristian Phillips (left leg) and Gavin Broscious (left lower leg). .
