Sat Nov 02 20:10:00 UTC 2024: ## Michigan Wolverines Face Oregon with Key Injuries Ahead of Showdown

**ANN ARBOR, Mich.** – The Michigan Wolverines are set to face off against the No. 1 ranked Oregon Ducks on Saturday, but they’ll do so without several key players, including starting cornerback Will Johnson.

According to The Michigan Insider on 247Sports, Johnson, who has two interceptions for touchdowns this season, is out for the game along with fellow starting cornerback Jyaire Hill, starting right tackle Andrew Gentry, and several other key defensive players.

While Johnson’s absence is not a surprise, Hill’s absence will be a major blow to the Wolverines’ secondary as they face Oregon’s potent passing attack. Gentry has been seen in a boot this week and his return date remains uncertain.

However, there is some positive news for Michigan. Defensive tackle Rayshaun Benny and safety Brandyn Hillman are both questionable for the game, meaning they could potentially return to the lineup.

Michigan coach Sherrone Moore has stated that Johnson’s absence is not related to his NFL Draft stock, but a result of his injury, and he is confident that the star cornerback will return later in the season.

The Wolverines will need to find a way to overcome these key injuries and secure a victory against the top-ranked Ducks on Saturday.
