Wolverines could be without star CB in Saturday’s rivalry game vs. MSU

Michigan defensive back Will Johnson celebrates a touchdown after intercepting USC quarterback Miller Moss during the second half at Michigan Stadium in Ann Arbor on Saturday, Sept. 21, 2024.

Michigan could be missing arguably its top defensive player in Saturday’s rivalry matchup against Michigan State.

Michigan head coach Sherrone Moore said star cornerback Will Johnson is “questionable” to play in Saturday’s game vs. the Spartans. Moore made the comment on Monday night on “Inside Michigan Football.”

Johnson left last week’s game vs. Illinois and has missed time in other games this year as well. But when he has been on the field, he’s been arguably the best cornerback in all of college football. So the loss of Johnson certainly would impact this rivalry matchup.

Kickoff between the Spartans and Wolverines is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET on Saturday. The game will be televised on the Big Ten Network.
