EAST LANSING, Mich. (AP) Michigan State quarterback Connor Cook has left Saturday's game against Maryland after appearing to injure his right shoulder in the first half.

He was able to return to the game shortly after that, and played the rest of the first half. When the third quarter began, Cook was on the sideline wearing a headset and backup Tyler O'Connor was in at quarterback.
