Michigan Football vs Iowa: Midweek injury updates.
Michigan · IowaThe Wolverines had 11 players designated on the availability report going into Iowa, including starting linemen on both sides of the ball. Here’s the latest on Andrew Sprague, Dom Nichols and more:
Michigan Football will host the Iowa Hawkeyes on Saturday afternoon at The Big House, and some of the Wolverines ' significant contributors may or may not be able to suit up for the Big Ten opener. The Big Ten has updated its rules surrounding the conference injury reports this season.
Teams no longer have to provide an injury report for non-conference games — only Big Ten matchups require teams to submit injury reports. That part is a bit silly to me, but the one thing the conference updated that is a major positive is that teams must now submit multiple injury reports each week.
For games being played on a Saturday, teams must submit an injury report on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and two hours before kickoff on Saturday. First off, it's really great to not see running back Jordan Marshall anywhere on the injury report.
KEY POINTS
- Dom Nichols a surprise add to Michigan's injury report vs Iowa.
- Michigan Football released its first midweek injury report of the season ahead of the Iowa game.
- With that said, we have our first midweek injury report of the year for the Wolverines:
- Head coach Kyle Whittingham said earlier this week that he expected Marshall to play against Iowa, so him not being anywhere to be seen on the injury report is reassuring.
