Michigan football has played multiple games either without star junior tight end Colston Loveland or with him limited. So, with Ohio State up next, the Wolverines are hoping that Loveland will be a full go. Those hopes were somewhat dashed when Loveland left the Northwestern game in Week 13 after scoring a touchdown just before halftime.

Yeah. I just go by what the doctors say,” Michigan coach Sherrone Moore said on Will Johnson injury status and Colston Loveland ahead of Ohio State.

However, according to a report from from Jason Avant on Michigan Sports Network, Loveland did not come back out of the tunnel for the second half and is not expected to return in this game for the Wolverines.

Ann Arbor — It is unclear whether Michigan tight end Colston Loveland, who leads the team in receiving, and All-American cornerback Will Johnson will be available for the regular-season finale at Ohio State.

ANN ARBOR, Mich. — Michigan football never had a high-flying offense in the Jim Harbaugh era, and with Sherrone Moore taking over this year, the expectation wasn’t that it would suddenly, but that it would be a continuation of what came before him.

Star defensive back Will Johnson and record-breaking tight end Colston Loveland's status remains unclear as Wolverines prepare for crucial rivalry matchup.

Michigan is currently three-touchdown underdogs heading into Columbus to take on Ohio State on Saturday. The Wolverines have won three in a row over Ohio State, but Michigan will need plenty to go its way -- and then some -- if it hopes to make it a fourth straight.
