Roman Wilson Update
I saw an injury rumor mentioned earlier but no actual reporting. According to this article, Roman has a “minor” wrist injury and is questionable for Saturday. Hope he’s able to play without risk of further injury.

No worries... I heard that Michael Barret took some pre-med courses last night and is now working with Roman's wrist. I'm sure he'll be ready to take on Scott Frost's hard hitting DBs in no time...

admittedly just rumor, but it is said he is working on an invisible force-field ray that he can put around roman's wrist and keep it impermeable to any form of attack, including nuclear weapons and lasers.

I guess we'll officially see what the actual extent of this is come Saturday night. If Michigan can get through Nebraska unscathed, he'll have a bye week to rest up anything that he needs to, and if it still somehow continues to linger, I wouldn't think he'd be needed much against Northwestern.
So he'd essentially have three weeks at that point to get back to 100% before things start to get real again.

Yoder believes they will hold Wilson out for 3 weeks, but my quarter says he plays Saturday against the Huskers.

Yoder? You have first class tickets to Bolivia, my friend...
(And now, because of writing 'Yoder', so do I. Thanks, man...)

No one wants an injury, but I think games against Nebraska and Northwestern should give him an opportunity to heal--and maybe help the team find some more consistent receiving from other guys.

No, we need Wilson against Nebraska. Did you just watch them against Illinois and now assume they suck?
They played OU extremely tough and should have beaten Sparty if their special teams would have showed up.
I know NW sucks, but they beat them by 100. This will be the hardest test of the year for UM. WIscy was as well, but Nebraska's O presents a lot of problems and will be the first true dual threat qb UM has faced this year.

Right. I can't count how many takes I've heard from friends and acquaintances alone implying that Nebraska isn't any good. None have said it but I've gotten a lot of "it shouldn't be a problem" type comments.
I think they are the biggest test UM has had so far this season and I cannot believe I'm saying that. Washington and Wisconsin just didn't turn out to be the teams they usually are and Nebraska has looked quite good outside of their first game.
I'm not afraid of them but they can beat Michigan. I'd rather play Wisconsin again than Nebraska right now.

Let's just hope Michael Barrett, MD can work his magic.
We don't want anyone's ass overtaken by injury talk.
