Penn State could have a key defender return to the field as the Nittany Lions take on Maryland on Saturday.

Before the team’s arrival at Beaver Stadium, linebacker Curtis Jacobs was seen running up and down the field during early warmups for the Week 11 contest. The LB exited last week’s game against Indiana after only 8 snaps due to an undisclosed injury and was unavailable to the press at Wednesday’s practice.

Jacobs has started 21 of the last 22 contests for the Nittany Lions. In his second year with the Lions, he has 39 tackles with 3.5 tackles for loss, 1 sack, 2 fumble recoveries, and a pass breakup. Jacobs recorded a pick-six with a 47-yard return in the matchup with the Wolverines. The LB was also named preseason All-B1G second team by PFF.
