ANN ARBOR, Mich. — Usually when Jim Harbaugh meets with the media halfway through fall camp, there are a number of players who are battling injuries — whether it be day-by-day or significantly longer.
However, in 2023, the team appears to be relatively healthy, albeit with a few exceptions.
On Friday, sophomore cornerback Amorion Walker was seen entering the building on crutches, and while Harbaugh did confirm his injury, he said it’s not a long-term concern.
“A little bit, he’s working through something right now,” Harbaugh said. “But I expect to have him back in four to five days.”
There is one player who could potentially be out for the year, Harbaugh also confirmed, but the team isn’t sure as of yet. Sophomore wide receiver Logan Forbes, from Clarkston (Mich.), is a walk-on, and while Harbaugh says that he’s excelled thus far during the offseason, he had an injury that could preclude his availability either on offense or special teams, pending an MRI.
“Yeah, we will have to see what with Logan Forbes, who was having such a great camp, tremendous offseason,” Harbaugh said. “Waiting on an MRI this morning. But hoping for the best, we’ll plan for the worst but he’s been — just it’s one of those gut-wrenching things. So we’ll find out. Knowing him, he’ll do what all the other guys do. They just come back bigger, stronger, faster.”
Michigan still does have a week and a half left in fall camp before it begins game week preparations in earnest with East Carolina coming to Ann Arbor on Sept. 2. Optimally, the team will be at, or close, to full-strength for the season opener and beyond.
