Michigan football will look to return to college football favor on Saturday when it hosts Big Ten newcomer USC in Week 4. There is some slight concern, however, with several key players out or limited play.
In Week 3 against Arkansas State, star tight end Colston Loveland left the game early with an apparent shoulder injury and it appears the decision will be made closer to game time. The Wolverines were shorthanded last week, with Jaden Mangham, Jordan Marshall and Tyler Morris out last week and several other notable players also unable to play.
With that in mind, here are the people the Big Ten says are listed on the official injury report.

This will be quarterback Alex Orji’s first start and he will certainly need as much support as possible at the wide receiver position.
Kickoff for Saturday’s game is at 3:40 p.m. EDT and the game will be televised nationally on CBS.
