Copeland incurred the injury during Tuesday practice, making it the second season-ending injury for him in as many seasons.
Last season, he suffered a broken bone is his neck against Oregon in week two of the 2015 season.
Copeland did not travel to Illinois this week because of the injury and was not available against Maryland because of a hampered hip flexor, the Free Press reported.
The cornerback was considered a bright spot for the Spartans, as his play drew comparisons to former All-American cornerback Darqueze Dennard from his teammates.
The highly touted cornerback recorded 36 tackles, two pass breakups and one interception this season.
