Michigan OL Myles Hinton, advance on Derrick Moore's injury status for Illinois

Michigan OL Myles Hinton, advance on Derrick Moore's injury status for Illinois

When we last saw the Michigan Wolverines in action – two weeks ago in Washington – the team was dealing with a slew of injuries. According to the injury report, eleven players were missing from that game and three others were listed as questionable.

Unfortunately it's similar this week. The injury report contains some new names and also a new designation for one of the players who was injured a few weeks ago. Here's what today's report looks like ahead of a crucial top-25 matchup in Illinois.

Out of

  • S Jaden Mangham
  • LB Micah Pollard
  • S Rod Moore
  • DT Enow Etta
  • CB Ja'Den McBurrows (Season)
  • RB Jordan Marshall
  • DT Rayshaun Benny
  • RB Leon Franklin
  • RB Bryson Kuzdzal

Questionable

  • CB Aamir Hall
  • LB Jimmy Rolder
  • OL Myles Hinton

There are a few new developments here – cornerback Ja'Den McBurrows is now under consideration for the season, which is bad news for an already struggling secondary.

Defensive tackles Enow Etta and Rayshaun Benny are freshmen on the injury report and were available in the last game against UW. This obviously isn't great for defensive line depth, so expect a hefty dose of Mason Graham and Kenneth Grant today.

Meanwhile, linebacker Jimmy Rolder, left tackle Myles Hinton and cornerback Aamir Hall were all out for the UW game, so it's a bit reassuring that they were upgraded to questionable.

Most notable on the injury report is edge rusher Derrick Moore, who also missed the UW game two weeks ago. Cornerback Will Johnson was also taken off the injury report after being listed as questionable two weeks ago. Finally, center Dominick Giudice is also off the report and could play in this game as long as he isn't overtaken on the depth chart by Greg Crippen, who had a pretty solid game against UW.

Michigan vs. Illinois begins at 3:30 p.m. on CBS.
