Michigan vs. Indiana injury report: Will Johnson out, Jyaire Hill questionable
The Michigan Wolverines will be without junior cornerback Will Johnson, as expected, according to Saturday’s Big Ten-mandated availability report before taking on Indiana in Bloomington (3:30 p.m., CBS).
Johnson was injured in the loss at Illinois a few weeks ago and has missed the last two games with a lower-body injury. His status has been week-to-week and it seems he will be re-evaluated after next week’s bye.
The good news for Michigan is the potential return of sophomore cornerback Jyaire Hill, who was out for last week’s loss to Oregon and was listed as questionable. Having him back in the lineup should be a boost for the Wolverines if he can go.
Here is this week’s full report before Saturday’s game between the Wolverines and Hoosiers.
OUT
• Junior wide receiver Amorion Walker
• Junior cornerback Will Johnson
• Junior safety Jaden Mangham
• Junior linebacker Micah Pollard
• Senior safety Rod Moore
• Senior LB Christian Boivin
• Senior OT Jeff Persi
• Freshman TE Hogan Hansen

Michigan HC Sherrone Moore weighs in on Indiana
“You’ve got to figure out how you want to build the program, whether it’s with the high school range or all in the portal or a mix of both,” Moore said of the Hoosiers this week. “We’re always going to rely on our high school players and the guys we want to build from within and keep the culture. But, yeah, you’re going to have those transfer grads to supplement different spots, which we’ll have and we’ll continue to do so. He’s done, obviously, an unbelievable job of what he’s done with his team. They play discipline. They play fast. They play physical. Offensively, they do a really good job of spreading you out. But doing things, keeping it simple for their players and making it difficult for your defense. And defensively, they just play great team defense and try to make you make a mistake.
“I think for them, they just did a really good job of bringing in the right guys, bringing in the right people. And I think Coach Cignetti’s done an unbelievable job with building the program, how he has. He’s done it before, done it in the past. And for us, we just got to continue to do what we need to do to progress. So we’re looking at the future, looking at this game, looking at today. We’re trying to figure out how we can get a better day. That’s what we’re going to go do.”
