Penn State will be without defensive end Zuriah Fisher for the 2022 season, barring any unforeseen changes to his status. Fisher suffered a knee injury during spring football practices and was reported at the time to be done for the season.
Purdue is dealing with a small rash of injuries coming into the new season. The Boilermakers are without defensive tackle Damarjhe Lewis (ankle) and tight end Garrett Miller (knee) for the 2022 season.
