ANN ARBOR, Mich. — There were a lot of questions about who would or wouldn’t take the field for Michigan football in Big Ten Week 6 against Penn State on Saturday.
Two Wolverines left last week’s contest with injury in Brad Hawkins and Cam McGrone, with the latter having been carted off and needing an MRI in the game’s aftermath, per head coach Jim Harbaugh. Harbaugh was mum in his weekly press conference about either’s availability after having sustained ailments at Rutgers.
However, on the other side of the ball for Michigan, not only were the maize and blue without offensive tackles Jalen Mayfield and Ryan Hayes for the third-straight week, but center Andrew Vastardis also missed the game with injury. OL coach Ed Warinner noted that the tackles had returned to practice this week, so there’s some potential positive news on that front entering Saturday’s game.

So who at least dressed for the game? At the stadium, we saw DE Kwity Paye, LT Ryan Hayes and S Brad Hawkins in uniform during pregame warmups. However, though unconfirmed by a team spokesman, WR Giles Jackson, K Quinn Nordin, LB Cam McGrone, C Andrew Vastardis and RT Jalen Mayfield are out due to injury.
Michigan football and Penn State are set to kick off at noon EST.
Update: The above has been confirmed by a team spokesperson.
