COLUMBUS, Ohio — Michigan football's 2024 regular season finale just got even tougher. The Wolverines (6-5, 4-4 Big Ten) will be without two projected first-round picks in the 2025 NFL's draft — cornerback Will Johnson and tight end Colston Loveland ...

Michigan football will have to beat its arch rival without two of its best players. The struggling Wolverines will be shorthanded on both sides of the ball, ruling out star tight end Colston Loveland and All-American cornerback Will Johnson for Saturday’s game at No.

We are on the doorstep of another Ohio State vs Michigan rivalry game and there are plenty of storylines to watch. One of those is the status of Wolverine star defensive back, Will Johnson, widely regarded as a first-round NFL draft pick come April.

Michigan is expected to be without star cornerback Will Johnson vs. Ohio State, a source tells @CBSSports / @247Sports. Sherrone Moore had said “we’ll see” earlier in the week re: Johnson, who has been out since early October due to a toe injury. https://t.co/ly2NQ7Y5mp pic.twitter.com/y2hUQ9VNTB
