Michigan will be missing several key players vs. Wisconsin
Published:
Michigan is going to be shorthanded on Saturday night as it looks to get back in the win column against Wisconsin.
In addition to defensive end Aidan Hutchinson, who has already been ruled out for the year, the Wolverines will be without starting defensive end Kwity Paye and starting offensive tackles Jalen Mayfield and Ryan Hayes.
That’s according to multiple reporters who are watching the Wolverines warm up in Ann Arbor.
Michigan will be without starting OTs Jalen Mayfield and Ryan Hayes and starting DEs Aidan Hutchinson and Kwity Paye tonight.

If there’s a silver lining for Michigan, it’s that Wisconsin will also be without some key contributors as they work out of their COVID-19 outbreak:

Wisconsin needs to win this game to keep pace with the winner of Northwestern-Purdue in the Big Ten West standings. Michigan is hoping to avoid falling to 1-3 on the season.
Wisconsin is a 7-point favorite at most books with less than an hour to kickoff.
