This certainly qualifies as good news.
Wolverines junior guard Eli Brooks — who broke his nose in the second-half of last Sunday’s game at Purdue — was a scratch on Thursday as Michigan lost to Wisconsin. Brooks’ absence was certainly felt on both the defensive and offensive ends.
The maize and blue have some tough games ahead, with three regular season matchups remaining. It starts Sunday against Ohio State in Columbus, where the Wolverines sorely need revenge against its rival which took the game in Ann Arbor last month.
According to The Athletic’s Brendan Quinn, Michigan looks like it does have some good news coming, as Brooks traveled, did preliminary shoot around, and has a protective mask ready to wear.
Some news — am told Eli Brooks made the trip to Ohio State, has a protective mask for his broken nose and participated in this morning’s shoot around.
Brooks missed Michigan’s loss vs Wisconsin earlier this week. Absence was felt massively on both ends.

While this isn’t a 100% indicator that he’ll play, it’s starting to like more than likely.
