Andrew Rappleyea - Expected to be ready for season Rappleyea (foot) sat out the entirety of Penn State's spring practice period but is expected to be ready for the season, per Penn State on SI.

Impact Rappleyea logged 20 catches for 180 yards and three touchdowns at Penn State last fall. The tight end dealt with a foot injury this offseason, and he was limited throughout spring and will continue to be throughout fall camp. However, he should be ready for Week 1 against Marshall.

Gabe Burkle - Expected to be ready for season Burkle (knee) is expected to be ready for Penn State's 2026 season, Mark Wogenrich of SI.com reports.

Impact Despite sitting out spring camp because of a knee injury, Burkle looks probable going into Penn State's fall camp, the last chance he can readily practice before the Nittany Lions begin their 2026 season. He committed to Penn State earlier this year, following Matt Campbell, then head coach of Iowa State.

Brett Eskildsen - Finishes spring ahead of schedule Eskildsen (undisclosed) finished spring practice ahead of his recovery schedule, Tyler Donohue of 247Sports.com reports.

Impact Eskildsen was reported not to get live reps during spring, but he luckily started making promising strides in the latter half of the practices. The 6-foot-1 wideout is now primed to make a return come fall, and he should be on the field for the Nittany Lions' opener barring any major problems.

Chase Sowell - Making progress in spring Sowell (undisclosed) has made steady progress in the spring, per Tyler Donohue of 247Sports.com.

Impact Sowell was uninvolved in the beginning of spring ball for the Nittany Lions, but it appears he's made more positive strides with his unspecified injury. The 6-foot-3 wide receiver will now aim to make a full recovery by the time fall rolls around, and he should be able to do so if he keeps moving on the same trajectory.

Carson Hansen - Takes first team reps in spring Hansen has taken first team reps this spring, although James Peoples arguably looked better in the spring game, per StateCollege.com.

Impact Hansen, who transferred from Iowa State along with head coach Matt Campbell, was a starter for the Cyclones last season and ran for 950 yards and six touchdowns. He's got the requisite experience and production to start in Happy Valley, but fellow incoming transfer James Peoples from Ohio State appears to be nipping at his heels. This should be a strong Nittany Lions' backfield in 2026.
