- Injury: Two Penn State starters remain questionable for Saturday's Big Ten opener against Wisconsin, according to the Big Ten's mandatory availability report.

- Penn State downgrades reserve linebacker Cam Smith and cornerback Christian Askew from questionable to out on Thursday's report for the 2026 Wisconsin game. Smith will miss a third straight game after playing against Marshall. The report confirms those absences without naming replacements or giving return dates. - Penn State starting center Brock Riker and tight end Andrew Rappleyea remain questionable on Thursday's 2026 Wisconsin availability report. Rappleyea is one of three tight ends to have started a game this season. These are unresolved game-availability designations, not confirmation either player will sit or an announced lineup change.

- OL/LB: Quite frankly I like Nick Robo with Sid and Rust with Kindel on the third line.

- QB/OL: The longer I look at this matchup, the more I see an edge for PSU's O-line vs D-line battle.

- QB/OL: Take the Smolik run out and the RBs 22 yard run the average dip down to a little over 3 yards a carry.

- OL: Does having Granville out all season and Rapp and Howard out for a few games suck, of course.

- Injury: First availability report of the year: PROBABLE S Omarion Davis QUESTIONABLE LB Cam Smith CB Christian Askew OL Brock Riker OL Dominic Rulli WR Ethan Black TE Andrew Rappleyea DOUBTFUL n/a OUT WR Koby...

- At Penn State's 2026 Wisconsin-week presser, Matt Campbell said Brock Riker had practiced and that Saturday's handling of him helped put him in position for full-go Tuesday work. Andrew Rappleyea was still limited and questionable despite being at practice; Campbell did not clear him to play. - Campbell said Penn State's Tyler Armstead was questionable after being dinged up against Buffalo. Armstead has contributed heavily on special teams and earned early cornerback snaps through his practice work, but that expanded opportunity was not a declaration of full health or a permanent starting role. - Campbell said Penn State receiver Brett Elskildsen had been limited over the previous two weeks after getting dinged up. He praised the receiver's production when available but gave no return date, diagnosis or assurance of an unrestricted workload against Wisconsin.

- Injury: Penn State's Matt Campbell is optimistic center Brock Riker will play against Wisconsin on Saturday.

- OL/RB: As we exit the OOC “tests” we know that there is talent at the talent positions.

- QB/OL: Its sort of weird seeing a guy named Jack Lambert with QB beside his name in these parts.

- OL/DL: The biggest difference I think is the performance, fluidity, and physicality of the offense…not like last year where he seemed stuck in the mud and unable to get out of our own way.

- OL: nfl evolved and this line has to change stout didn't want to use modern techniques and Howie did see it getting bad last year which is why stout had to go

- Injury: He's been warming up as the fourth-stringer before games this season.

- OL/TE: the latest from Matt Campbell after Penn State center Brock Riker & tight end Andrew Rappleyea were 'dinged up' in the Nittany Lions' blowout win over Buffalo
