Michigan and Nebraska face off in Week 4, with both teams dealing with key injury situations. Some players are working their way back, while others remain sidelined. Here’s the full breakdown of the latest updates, including Bryce Underwood and Dylan Raiola.
Michigan Week 4 Injury Report
Rod Moore
Moore has been out since March with a serious knee injury that included a torn ACL and meniscus. His recovery was slowed by a second operation. He is expected to return against Nebraska. He may not be at full strength, but should see the field.
Giovanni El-Hadi
El-Hadi, a starting offensive guard, missed last week’s game against Central Michigan. He remains out for Week 4. His absence continues to impact Michigan’s offensive line depth.
Brady Norton
Norton, another offensive guard, also sat out the previous game. His status has improved. He is listed as probable for Nebraska and could return to the lineup.
Bryce Underwood
Underwood is healthy and will play. He has been in form through the early weeks and remains the starter at quarterback.
Nebraska Week 4 Injury Report
Comparatively, Nebraska has a stronger roster as most of their players are available and set for the next game. This will give them a competitive edge over the Wolverines.
Malcolm Hartzog
Hartzog missed Nebraska’s most recent game. The defensive back is expected to return this week. His presence strengthens the secondary for the matchup with Michigan.
Dylan Raiola
Raiola left a game earlier this season with an injury against UCLA, but has not missed extended time. He is cleared and will start against Michigan. Nebraska’s offense continues to run through him.
Nebraska’s defense should benefit from having Malcolm Hartzog back in the lineup. Meanwhile, Dylan Raiola is healthy and ready to start, which gives the Cornhuskers stability at quarterback heading into a difficult matchup.
Michigan gets a boost with the possible return of safety Rod Moore, though the offensive line remains thin, with Giovanni El-Hadi still unavailable. Brady Norton’s return would help stabilize protection for Bryce Underwood, who is healthy and set to continue leading the offense.
Nebraska is undefeated so far after facing Cincinnati, Akron, and HCU in the first three weeks. The Wolverines, on the other hand, have suffered one loss against Oklahoma and have won two against New Mexico and Central MI.
The Week 4 matchup will hinge on how well the teams adjust to missing pieces and how their stars perform at full strength.
