Michigan State football will be without two of its top players in Saturday’s nonconference battle against Washington

Michigan State football will be without two of its top players in Saturday’s nonconference battle against Washington.

Less than an hour before kickoff, it was confirmed starting wide receiver Jayden Reed and defensive tackle Jacob Slade both didn’t travel with the team to Seattle for the game. Both Reed and Slade experienced injuries in last week’s win against Akron.

This is a tough blow for the Spartans with both Reed and Slade being key contributors for Michigan State.

Kickoff between Michigan State and Washington is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET. The game can be seen on ABC.

An MSU spokesman confirms Jayden Reed did not travel to Washington with "an injury."
