Michigan football news: John Henry Daley, Andrew Marsh on injury report

Michigan football enters its next Big Ten test with several important health questions hanging over the Wolverines . As Michigan prepares for a matchup with Minnesota , John Henry Daley and Andrew Marsh headline a loaded injury report. That could significantly influence the team's approach Saturday.

Daley is Michigan's leading edge rusher with three sacks and 11 pressures. He is listed as questionable after suffering a lower-body injury late in the Wolverines' loss to Iowa . The encouraging development is that Daley has been walking without a boot or crutches. His availability would provide a major boost to a Michigan defense preparing for another conference challenge.

Marsh, meanwhile, is also questionable. That leaves another key offensive piece uncertain heading into the weekend. Marsh leads the team with 22 catches for a total of receiving 239 yards so far. The Wolverines are additionally monitoring edge rusher Dom Nichols and offensive lineman Andrew Sprague. They both carry 'questionable' designations. There is better news along the offensive line, with Blake Frazier listed as probable and trending toward availability.

Michigan enters the matchup at 3–1 overall and 0–1 in Big Ten play under head coach Kyle Whittingham. The Wolverines opened with a 13–12 win over Western Michigan . They stunned No. 11 Oklahoma 17–10 and cruised past UTEP 52–17. That was before suffering a narrow 20–19 home loss to No. 17 Iowa . Quarterback Bryce Underwood and wide receiver JJ Buchanan lead their offense. Now, Michigan needs a bounce-back performance against Minnesota. Getting its questionable contributors cleared could be critical as the Wolverines look to reclaim momentum and strengthen their conference standing.
