Overview
- Michigan’s official pregame report lists out RB Justice Haynes, LB Jimmy Rolder, LB Cole Sullivan, S Rod Moore, RB Micah Ka’apana and OL Evan Link, with TE Hogan Hansen questionable.
- Coach Sherrone Moore said Rod Moore will miss a third straight game after a knee flare-up that has not fully resolved.
- With Haynes sidelined, redshirt freshmen Jordan Marshall, coming off consecutive 100-yard games, and Jasper Parker are expected to handle more carries.
- Linebacker usage remains unsettled, with reporting noting Jaishawn Barham could shift off the edge and open snaps for TJ Guy or Cameron Brandt.
- No. 21 Michigan enters at 6-2 (4-1 Big Ten) against Purdue at 2-6 (0-5), with kickoff at 7:10 p.m. on Big Ten Network and betting lines favoring the Wolverines by 21 points.
