Key Wolverines Offensive Linemen Uncertain for Minnesota Clash

Michigan Football is set to play its first road game of the season against the Minnesota Golden Gophers this Saturday. The team's offensive line has been hit hard by injuries, with several contributors missing from last week's game against Iowa. The initial Big Ten Conference injury report, released on Wednesday evening, lists multiple players as out, questionable, or probable.

Running back Jordan Marshall has not appeared on the injury report for two consecutive weeks, which is a positive development for Michigan's ground attack. Offensive lineman Manuel Beigel has been upgraded to questionable, suggesting he may be ready to play. If Beigel is unable to go, sophomore Avery Gach is expected to fill in, as he did last week. Blake Frazier is probable to play after sustaining an injury.

Concerns remain for other offensive linemen, particularly Andrew Sprague, who is again listed as questionable. Both of Michigan's standout edge rushers are also questionable following injuries sustained in the Iowa game. Additionally, wide receiver Andrew Marsh has been added to the injury report, with his status for the upcoming game uncertain. If Marsh cannot play, other players like JJ Buchanan, Salesi Moa, and Travis Johnson may see increased action.
