Michigan football went from being one of the healthier teams in college football to being one that’s struggled mightily with injury in the past few weeks.
Not only is Rod Moore out for the foreseeable, but we’ve seen Colston Loveland, Will Johnson, Josaiah Stewart, Derrick Moore, Myles Hinton, Dom Giudice, Wesley Walker, Jimmy Rolder, and others out in the past few weeks. But, with Michigan having had a bye week, the Wolverines hope to return for the Illinois game much healthier than they’ve been in recent weeks.
On the other side of the ball, Illinois is expected to be without starting running back Kaden Feagin, but who else will be out?
Here is the official injury report for both teams now that the Week 8 game is at hand.

Myles Hinton injury update
It’s unclear when Hinton ended up being injured but he missed the Week 6 game at Washington. With the bye week, there was hope that he could return but if he is unable to go, senior Jeff Persi will take his place as he did in Seattle.
Derrick Moore injury update
It was a little surprising that Moore was injured given that he arrived in Seattle and took part in pregame walkthroughs. However, after the injury report, he emerged in street clothes. The hope is that the week off provided him with some time to get healthy.
Dom Giudice injury update
Giudice was also injured prior to Week 6 and despite him getting healthier, the expectation is that Greg Crippen — who filled in for him against Washington — will retain the starting job.
