Is Zak Zinter Playing today in the CFP National Championship?

Zinter won't be playing in the CFP National Championship on Monday night against the Washington Huskies. The player is out with a season-ending injury and was on his last year of eligibility which means he has played his last game as a Wolverine.

However, in a praise-worthy decision, the team captain has decided to stay with his team as they chase the national title. He explained his decision ahead of the Rose Bowl semifinal against Alabama:

“Being a captain on this team, this is the reason that I came back… I wanted to come back, help his team win a College Football Playoff and go compete for a national championship. That goal still hasn’t changed. I mean, my role may be a little different now because I got hurt, but I’m still doing everything I can to help this team win,” Zinter said (via The Michigan Daily)."

It's a brave decision for a player that could've decided to focus on his rehabilitation and on getting to the NFL.
