MSU football coach Mark Dantonio released from hospital

EAST LANSING, MI –

Michigan State coach Mark Dantonio has been released from Sparrow Hospital in Lansing after treatment for a blood clot.

The school says Dantonio was released at noon today.

Dantonio was admitted Thursday with a blood clot in a leg and missed the Spartans' 34-24 victory over Wisconsin on Saturday. He has missed two games following a mild heart attack Sept. 19.

A routine postoperative exam revealed the blood clot, which is common after a variety of surgical procedures.

No. 17 Michigan State (5-0, 1-0 Big Ten) plays at No. 18 Michigan (5-0, 1-0) this weekend in a matchup of unbeaten teams.
