Mark Dantonio provides update on injured CB Josiah Scott
Michigan State continues to deal with injuries following a win over Central Michigan, and Mark Dantonio took time Sunday to provide a detailed update on one injured Spartan.
Sophomore CB Josiah Scott has yet to play this season after sustaining a knee injury in training camp. The young defender played as a freshman and played well, recording 30 total tackles and an interception. He was expected to be a key member of the defense this year but remains out as his recovery continues.
According to Matt Wenzel with MLive.com, Dantonio labeled the injury as a meniscus injury during Sunday’s teleconference. Dantonio commented that the decision was made to repair the meniscus as opposed to removing it. However, there’s still a possibility Scott may play towards the end of the season and maintain a year of eligibility thanks to the new redshirt rule.
Dantonio says Josiah Scott had meniscus injury and they opted to repair it. Expects him to start to move around soon. Could be a possibility he only plays four games and can take redshirt under new NCAA rule.
