Will Johnson's injury update
Michigan cornerback Will Johnson didn't play for most of the second half against Ohio State due to an undisclosed injury.

“I think he just had a lower leg injury, I think he’ll be alright.”
Meanwhile, Johnson said he's doing everything possible to play in the Big Ten Championship.
“I mean, my best ability is availability, so trying to be available is the biggest thing and trying to be at my best health is the biggest thing, too,” Johnson said. “So I’m going to do whatever I can to be out there on Saturday, but if that’s not the case, then I’ll be back the next time we play.”
