Peoples-Jones is recovering from a lower-body injury and didn’t play last week either against Middle Tennessee State.
Running back Tru Wilson isn’t expected to suit up against Army either. He didn’t participate in pre-game warmups Saturday and has a cast on his right hand according to MLive.com.
The rest of the Michigan injury report is much more favorable. Defensive linemen Donovan Jeter and Michael Dwumfour are expected to play, though, Dwumfour will be wearing a big cast on his hand.
Offensive linemen Ben Bredeson, Cesar Ruiz, Michael Onwenu, Jalen Mayfield and Ryan Hayes are all “ready to go” along with Jon Runyan Jr. 247Sports reports Mayfield and Hayes could split snaps at right tackle with the return of Runyan.
