Michigan football star OUT vs. USC according to pregame injury report

Michigan football is looking to get back into the good graces of all things college football on Saturday as it hosts Big Ten newcomer USC in Week 4. But there’s been a bit of consternation as there could be some significant players out or limited.

In Week 3 against Arkansas State, star tight end Colston Loveland left the game early with an apparent shoulder injury and looks to be a game-time decision. The Wolverines were shorthanded last week with Jaden Mangham, Jordan Marshall, and Tyler Morris out last week, and some other notable players also unable to go.

With that in mind, here is who is listed on the official injury report according to the Big Ten.

Michigan

Out

• Jaden Mangham
• Micah Pollard
• Rod Moore
• Colston Loveland
• Jordan Marshall
• Jason Hewlett

Questionable

• Jack Tuttle
• Jimmy Rolder

USC

Questionable

• Thomas Amankwaa
• Davoun Fuse
• Naseim Brantley
• Ja’shon Benjamin
• Tyreem Powell
• Wesley Bailey
• Troy Rainey

This will be the first start for quarterback Alex Orji and certainly he’ll need as much help he can get at wide receiveer.

Kickoff for the Saturday game is at 3:40 p.m. EDT and the game will be broadcast nationally on CBS.
