Mike Morris not dressed out for Michigan’s B1G Championship Game warmups
Published:
Mike Morris seems unlikely to play in the B1G Championship Game against Purdue.
The edge rusher suffered an ankle injury against Nebraska and missed the Week 12 game against Illinois. Morris was suited up for the regular season finale at Ohio State but did not make much of an impact.

Morris being unable to play would be a huge loss for the Wolverine defense. Morris leads the team in sacks by a wide margin, with 7.5 on the season. Eyabi Okie is 2nd in sacks with 3.5.
Morris also has 11 tackles for loss, 2 passes defended, and 1 forced fumble. Morris did not seem fully healthy during the Ohio State game, finishing with just a single tackle. Coach Jim Harbaugh could perhaps be being cautious with Morris in preparation for the College Football Playoff.
The Wolverines and Boilermakers will kick off at 8:00 pm ET on Saturday Night in Indianapolis for the B1G Championship.
