ANN ARBOR, Mich. — On Saturday, Michigan not only emerged from Minneapolis with a win, but did so mostly unscathed.
The key word being mostly.
Star safety Daxton Hill — who was solid in his play in the middle, as well as at nickel defending Rashod Bateman — left the game late in the first half and never returned. Harbaugh didn’t have an update on him after the game, other than he was still being evaluated. (Video above.)
However, on Monday, it appears that Hill will be all systems go for Saturday’s rivalry tilt vs. MSU at The Big House. Though, Harbaugh still was cautious about Hill’s status.
“I think he’s gonna be fine,” Harbaugh said. “We’ll know in the next day or so. But anticipate him practicing midweek, tomorrow or Wednesday.”

Aside from Hill, neither tight end Nick Eubanks nor kicker Quinn Nordin played in the game. Eubanks didn’t travel, and Harbaugh said that they’ll know more about whether or not he’ll be available on Saturday shortly. “We’ll find out more about Nick today, tomorrow,” Harbaugh said.
As for Nordin, Harbaugh thinks it will be likely that he’ll be able to go on Saturday — which is a positive considering Jake Moody missed all three field goal attempts on Saturday.
