Jayden Reed, Jameson Williams go back-and-forth on social media after Thursday Night Football clash

Jayden Reed and Jameson Williams have been chirping each other on Instagram following Thursday Night’s game

I think this one might be conflicting for many of our readers as I am sure there is a pretty high crossover of Michigan State fans who are also Detroit Lions fans.

On Thursday night, the Detroit Lions hosted the Green Bay Packers in a game with huge implications for the playoffs. The Lions were able to hold former Spartan and current Packers’ wide receiver and top ten Pro Bowl vote-getter Jayden Reed to zero catches on the night.

After the game, Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams decided to tease Jayden Reed a little bit on social media.

Jayden Reed recently said, on Amon-Ra St. Brown’s podcast: ‘Wait until I come to Detroit.’

This led Jameson Williams to comment on a br_betting Instagram post: ‘Did he come ?’

Jayden Reed responded: ‘Do yo homework on career stats gang.’

To which Jameson Williams clapped back: ‘u only as good as yo last game.’

You can see the full exchange here.

Ben VanSumeren ruled out for Eagles on Sunday

Ben VanSumeren suffered a potential serious knee injury in practice, sidelining him for the Eagles

Former Michigan State football linebacker Ben VanSumeren has found himself a nice role in the National Football League with the Philadelphia Eagles. VanSumeren has taken on a role as a fullback in the NFL, and is someone that many have raved about in taking on his new role.

For the Eagles big time clash with the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday, VanSumeren is going to be sidelined with an injury.

It sounds like the injury suffered by the former Spartan is a serious knee injury suffered in practice and it could be looking like a long term injury.

Michigan State football defensive back alumnus Josh Butler is making his first career start on Monday Night Football for the Dallas Cowboys. 

Butler played for Michigan State from 2015-2019, before going undrafted in the NFL Draft. While taking an unconventional route to the NFL, Butler excelled when he played for the Michigan Panthers in the USFL this past season, earning him a shot with the Dallas Cowboys.

The shot for Butler just intensified, and the Cowboys will now give the former Spartan the chance to start on Monday Night Football against the Houston Texans.

The Detroit Lions absolutely drubbed the Jacksonville Jaguars inside of Ford Field on Sunday afternoon. A good day for those Lions fans in the Spartans fan base. It was also a good day for a noted Michigan State alumnus.

During a celebratory leap into the stands by Lions wide receivers Amon Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams, they were seen jumping into the seats of a former Spartan and Detroit Red Wing, Justin Abdelkader.

Abdelkader is known as a Stanley Cup winner with the Red Wings, while winning a National Championship at MSU.
