No. 20 Michigan is set to host unranked Wisconsin at the Big House on Saturday afternoon. The Wolverines are coming off a much needed bye week, given the fact that many key players were dealing with nagging injuries after the first four weeks of the season.

Starters like Giovanni El-Hadi, Zeke Berry, Mason Curtis and Brady Norton were all listed as either out or questionable on the pre-Nebraska availability report, which was released two weeks ago.

Luckily for Michigan, the bye week allowed for players to heal up. This week’s availability report is much lighter than it has been in recent weeks. However, six players have been deemed out for the season. Below is the full availability report:

Questionable

OL Giovanni El-Hadi

OL Brady Norton

TE Hogan Hansen

Out

QB Davis Warren

RB Micah Ka’apana

WR I’Marion Stewart

RB Donovan Johnson

LB Jaydon Hood
