Season-Ending Injury For Edwards
Michigan State Running Back Cam Edwards Will Miss Remainder of Season
Anonymous
Michigan State running back Cam Edwards will miss the remainder of the 2026 season after injuring his right knee during Saturday’s game against Nebraska. The UConn transfer was hurt after catching a 23-yard screen pass and was taken off the field by cart. Through four games, Edwards had led the Spartans with 304 rushing yards and three touchdowns on 64 carries, along with 35 receiving yards. Senior Jaziun Patterson and sophomore Marvis Parrish are among the backs expected to take on larger roles. Guard Conner Moore was also injured in the game, and coach Pat Fitzgerald had not provided updates on Moore or other injured players.
