ANN ARBOR, Mich. — The Wolverines are set to take the field at noon EDT against Connecticut in the third game of the season.
Michigan will be doing so without its sophomore running back Donovan Edwards who was hurt last week against Hawaii. Edwards was spotted in street clothes on the field and will not play against the Huskies on Saturday. Freshman CJ Stokes is expected to back up Blake Corum against UConn.
Michigan was without both Karsen Barnhart and Nikhai Hill-Green last week against Hawaii. And the Wolverines will be without both of them on Saturday.
The hybrid offensive lineman, Barnhart, was also spotted in street clothes and Michigan will be without him for the second straight game.
Linebacker Nikhai Hill-Green is dressed and warming up for the UConn game, but Jon Jansen announced that Hill-Green will miss his third straight game. Hill-Green has yet to play this season due to a lingering injury, but hopefully he can return when Big Ten play starts next week against Maryland.
