Sat Nov 02 20:10:00 UTC 2024: ## Wolverines Lose Top Cornerback for Crucial Oregon Matchup
Ann Arbor, MI – Michigan Wolverines fans will be without their star cornerback, Will Johnson, for Saturday’s highly anticipated clash against No. 1 Oregon. Johnson, considered a top prospect for the upcoming NFL draft, has been sidelined with a lower-body injury sustained in the Illinois game on Oct. 19.
Johnson missed last week’s matchup against Michigan State and his return date remains uncertain. While Coach Sherrone Moore has confirmed that Johnson will be back at some point this season, he declined to provide a specific timeframe.
The absence of Johnson, who boasts two pick-sixes this year, including an 86-yard return against Fresno State and a 42-yard return against USC, will be a significant blow to the Wolverines’ defense. Last season, he intercepted four passes and earned defensive MVP honors in the national championship game.
The Wolverines will look to their remaining defensive players to fill the void left by Johnson as they take on the Ducks in a game with major College Football Playoff implications.
