Michigan Injury Report for Iowa
This isn't the most interesting Michigan press release you'll read today, but it'll suffice. To the press release!:
OUT (0% PLAY)
Jones, Mike.....................................................Leg
Odoms, Martavious.......................................Foot
Toussaint, Fitzgerald....................................Shoulder
Van Slyke, Jared............................................Clavicle
Williams, Mike................................................Head
Woolfolk, Troy.................................................Ankle
Van Slyke, Williams, and Woolfolk have been out the entire season, and Mike Jones has been out since the Notre Dame game with a broken leg (for which he should be able to get a redshirt).
That leaves Martavious Odoms and Fitzgerald Toussaint as the new(ish) guys. Toussaint will miss this week, and will return for the Penn State game at the soonest. Odoms broke his foot against State and will be out for an extended time. We've known both of these since Monday, so in that respect, the is the most encouraging injury report we've seen this year.

It looks as if we can assume all the others not on this report are expected to be 100% come Saturday. Let's hope for a big day by Shaw which in turn should open up some long runs by Denard.
October 14th, 2010 at 8:41 PM ^
Anyone else surprised he did not see the field vs MSU? Thought he was effective prior to his injury
October 14th, 2010 at 9:28 PM ^
I remember hearing that his return would free up Roh.
October 14th, 2010 at 9:32 PM ^
Hope Odoms makes it back on the field this year...that kid plays like he is 6' tall and blocks like a Mountain Goat. Great kid!
October 14th, 2010 at 9:33 PM ^
That's practically encouraging . . .
October 14th, 2010 at 9:38 PM ^
last weeks' injury report IIRC. He was supposed to give Roh more DE time last week.
October 14th, 2010 at 10:10 PM ^
It's nice to not see Shaw on the list. I think he's really going to help the offense out. Vincent Smith isn't impressing me, and it will be nice to see another homerun threat in the backfield against a defense that probably won't give us many opportunities. I will be incredibly pleased if Roh is allowed to stay at DE for the vast majority of the game saturday.
This is kind of a side note, but, to me, the defense looks like it has changed from the bend don't break defense to the break don't bend. It seemed as though the defense held MSU in check for a good portion of the game with scoring drives coming off of a big run/pass, or a key large 3rd down conversion. There's still a lot of work to be done, but the defense seems to be moving in the right direction. If the defense catches a break or two Saturday while holding onto the ball, I think Michigan can win it.

That's.... good!
October 14th, 2010 at 10:29 PM ^
It's not the number of defensive players it's the quality. We've got a sure starter and 3 on the 2 deep. With our lack of depth that blows.
October 14th, 2010 at 10:30 PM ^
Tay Odoms will be missed, especially in tight games. Sure the WR position is deep. What we will sorely miss is his on the field leadership. Go back and watch the ND game, his smile when he or Roundtree got hit hard and his swagger were key. His confidence was contagious for a young offense.
October 15th, 2010 at 12:02 AM ^
Good points. Don't forget his blocking. He is a big loss.
October 15th, 2010 at 9:08 AM ^
Very true, Odoms has been key in getting Denard and the running backs into space. He'll be missed.
October 15th, 2010 at 12:18 AM ^
With Odoms out do we know who gets the start? I'd love to see Ricardo Miller get some big plays.
October 15th, 2010 at 1:02 AM ^
Glad to have Shaw back in the lineup. And with the defensive performance so far, you almost wish that we'd get a whole new cast in there ... or oust GRob, but c'est la vie.
October 15th, 2010 at 7:03 AM ^
Any speculation about what the biggest press release WILL BE today? Because bama was announced yesterday...or was that just a turn of phraise I'm not familiar with?
October 15th, 2010 at 8:38 AM ^
the absence of Martin on this list makes me very very very happy.
October 15th, 2010 at 9:37 AM ^
Life without MM in the middle for a whole game, especially against a bunch of bulldozers like Iowa, would make for a long day. Hopefully the injury is fully cleared up and nothing that will linger.
October 15th, 2010 at 8:53 AM ^
He has to be the most snake-bit person in the history of people. It seems like he could be good if he weren't made of papier mache, or graham crackers, or whatever.
October 15th, 2010 at 10:59 AM ^
More unlucky than brittle I think/hope. He was wearing a knee brace to protect his knee, which caused him to get caught from behind, which caused him to hurt his shoulder.
October 15th, 2010 at 8:58 AM ^
... that i was hoping to see Obi's name on that list?
