Penn State released a relatively favorable availability report ahead of its game at Wisconsin on Saturday night, as the Nittany Lions appear to be reasonably healthy to face the Badgers at Camp Randall Stadium.

No. 3 Penn State added one new player to its list of those who are "out," according to the Big Ten availability report released pre-game. Freshman running back Quinton Martin Jr. is out, becoming the third Nittany Lions running back to miss time this season. Redshirt freshman back Cam Wallace is out with a "long-term" injury, which moved Martin into the No. 3 role behind Nicholas Singleton and Kaytron Allen. If Penn State uses a third back at Wisconsin, it would be true freshman Corey Smith, who has not played yet this season.

Receiver/punt-returner Kaden Saunders is out again, as are players with "long-term" injuries who have missed multiple games, including safety KJ Winston and tight end Andrew Rappleyea. No Penn State football players re listed as "questionable" on the availability report.

“I think for the most part, we’re in pretty good position,” Franklin said this week of his team's health. “We’ve had some of that kind of throughout the season. We kind of had an initial wave of issues. Kind of got through it, and from that point on, I think we’ve been in pretty good shape.”

Penn State has had some injury issues this season, both short- and long-term, but seems to have benefitted from the bye week following its overtime win at USC. Singleton, linebacker Dom DeLuca and offensive linemen Sal Wormley and Anthony Donkoh, all of whom have missed time this season, are available against the Badgers.
