EAST LANSING – Aidan Chiles and Michigan State football will get a key team back Saturday night against No. 3 Ohio State. Another appears to be a mid-game decision.

Jaron Glover will return from a two-game injury absence, while fellow wide receiver Nick Marsh is listed as questionable after both sat out last week's loss at Boston College.

Marsh was the Big Ten and national Freshman of the Week after a breakout 194-yard performance in a 27-24 win at Maryland on Sept. 7. He was hit in the knee after making a catch with 1:50 left in the first quarter of MSU's 40-0 thrashing of Prairie View A&M, then sat out last Saturday's 23-19 road loss to the Eagles. The 6-foot-3, 209-pound Marsh leads MSU with 11 catches and 232 yards.

In addition to Marsh, offensive player Stanton Ramil is also listed as questionable. The redshirt freshman made his first career start at left tackle last week against BC when Brandon Baldwin — who started the first three games at left tackle — moved to right guard. MSU has already lost two right guards, Kristian Phillips and Gavin Broscious, to season-ending injuries.

Glover had six catches for 84 yards and a touchdown in the Spartans' first two games. The 6-1, 204-pound junior also missed the Sept. 14 win over Prairie View.

Backup receiver Antonio Gates Jr., who had four catches for 49 yards in two appearances, also remains out along with senior Alante Brown. Sophomore tight end Michael Masunas and backup cornerback Ade Willie are also out. MSU's secondary is still without the versatile Dillon Tatum, and backup safety Khalil Majeed is out for the season.

Kickoff is 7:30 p.m. between the Spartans (3-1, 1-0 Big Ten) and the Buckeyes (3-0, 0-0). The game will not be televised and will only be available via streaming on Peacock.
