Week 5 injury report: Only three Wolverines out for game vs Nebraska.
This week, the Wolverines’ injury report is very minimal.
We’re approximately two hours away from the start of Michigan’s first road game of the 2023 season, against Nebraska in Lincoln. As expected, sophomore defensive tackle Mason Graham is still out with an apparent thumb injury – Jim Harbaugh warned earlier this week that he will most certainly miss the next two games, although he could return next week for the game at Minnesota.
Thankfully, aside from Graham, not many Wolverines are injured heading into this one. Here’s the entire Week 5 injury report.
Out – Defensive tackle Mason Graham running back. C.J. Stokes – Cornerback Ja’Den McBurrows: Questionable safety. Rod Moore plays right tackle. Myles Hinton
Let’s start on a positive note: Will Johnson is fully off the injured report for the first time this season. He participated in last week’s game over Rutgers, and it was beneficial for him to get his feet wet as Big Ten competition progressed. His services will be critical for the games against Penn State and Ohio State later this season.
Meanwhile, Rod Moore remains labeled as doubtful. He did play last week for the first time this season, but he only had 24 snaps. We’ll see how many, if any, photos he receives this afternoon.
Myles Hinton is a new addition to the injury list, as head coach Jim Harbaugh stated earlier this week that Hinton was playing with an injury last weekend. If he is unable to play today, LaDarius Henderson will start at left tackle, with Karsen Barnhart moving to the right side.
Michigan vs. Nebraska begins at 3:30 p.m. ET on FOX.
