Michigan football may have lost running back Jordan Marshall vs. Northwestern at Wrigley Field in Chicago on Saturday, Nov. 15.
The redshirt freshman was having a dominant day, with 142 yards and two touchdowns on 19 carries. But on a 24-yard run early in the fourth quarter, with U-M trailing, 22-21, he was taken down, landing on his right shoulder. Marshall stayed down, rolling onto his back in obvious pain. After a few minutes, he walked off the field under his own power, clearly favoring his right arm.
The Wolverines were already shorthanded at running back, with star Justice Haynes out indefinitely with a foot injury.
Marshall was replaced by Bryson Kuzdzal, who rushed three times for 17 yards before quarterback Bryce Underwood threw an interception, U-M’s fourth turnover of the game.
On the Wolverines’ next drive, Kuzdzal remained in, while Marshall stood on the sideline without his helmet.
The Wolverines are coming off a bye and made it the top priority to get healthy as a litany of injuries were starting to take their toll before the week off.
