What does it look like for him?

I don't know that anyone outside of Nate, the coaching staff, and the training staff knows for sure. As frustrating as that is for fans, medical privacy laws are pretty rigid. Unless Nate is providing that information, the fanbase isn't going to be in the loop.

Ankle injuries run the gamut. If it's a mild sprain low in the joint, he probably plays this week. If it's more severe or a high sprain (my guess) it will be longer and could be something that lingers without prolonged rest. I hope he can go this week, but I won't be surprised if he is out. If I'm KW there is no way I'm telling anyone. Let PSU wonder all week and make them invest time preparing for Diamont and Sudfeld both.

Having two very different styles of QB can be a problem if it means changing much of your playbook based on who's taking snaps. OTOH, it can be a preparation problem for the other guy. My guess is that Wilson is going to let PSU twist a little and spend precious practice time game-planning for both, even if he knows for sure if Sudfeld can go or not.

Depth chart shows both Sudfield and Howard as first string and redding and Diamont as backups--think KW is tring to keep PSU wondering ??

Wilson said that both the Sudfeld and Howard injuries were not serious. What that means is unclear other than I guess both are expected to be back this season. I would not put either of them in just for the sake of one game if they are not healthy. I would rather lose one game them have them both gimpy the rest of the year.

Nate said he's day-to-day. Take that for what it's worth.

Does anyone know if he's in a walking boot when
he isn't at practice?

I didn't realize he was planning on playing Bball after the season....

I think people are making too much out of preparation for a QB like Zander. He is a short term solution off the bench, if Sudfeld doesn't play and/or get it together IU will struggle.

A quick internet search would have told you that
there are at least 2 NFL wide receivers who are/were wearing a walking boot related to their injuries.

Next time maybe you shouldn't be so quick to be
