Michigan Football vs Northwestern: Injury report, live Stream, TV channel and betting preview

The kickoff between Michigan football and Northwestern is just a few hours away and here’s all the key info such as injuries and how to watch. 

Michigan football is back and the Wolverines will take the field Saturday against Northwestern fresh off a bye week.

The sixth-ranked Wolverines bring their 6-0 record into the Big House Saturday and put it on the line against Northwestern, a team that’s 1-2 in the Big Ten and 3-3 overall.

Northwestern did notch a win last week over Rutgers by a score of 21-7, so the Wildcats are improving and Michigan football can’t afford to look ahead to next week.

Michigan should have gotten a chance to get healthy during the bye week, although Jim Harbaugh didn’t say much on injuries other than that guys could return this weekend.

There are some that will probably be held out for Michigan State if there are any questions, although it’s always nice to get a game under your belt to knock the rust off.

Either way, Michigan football is back, and here’s all the key info heading into the game.

Michigan football vs Northwestern Injury report

Two big names to watch for Michigan are that of Zak Zinter and Roman Wilson. Wilson hasn’t played since the Wisconsin game and Harbaugh said he could return this week, which is exactly what he said about Zinter.

Some other offensive linemen have been banged up too, so we’ll see what the starting five looks like but it would be good to see Zinter and Wilson back for the Wolverines.
