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 ...

Look for all three to get significant playing time against Ohio State, and safety Makari Paige moving into the slot-corner role.

Michigan football is going into their most important game of the year a bit short-handed. Will Johnson and Colston Loveland are out Saturday for a game against bitter rival Ohio State, per The Athletic.
