There aren't many players on the injury report this week for Michigan football, as the Wolverines get set to take on Nebraska, but there is one big name we are still unsure about.
Rod Moore, the two-time All-Big Ten safety, is expected to return for the Michigan football team against Nebraska. We won't know until the Wolverines release their final injury report a couple of hours before the game.
Biff Poggi said earlier this wee that Moore could have played against Central Michigan. He was expected to, but ended up waiting another week. Moore would be a vital addition to the secondary, especailly against a high-powered offense like Nebraska.
God Shows you everything at the right time 🙏🏾

Moore might be rusty. He hasn't played in a game since the National Championship Game. Yet, he can quarterback the defense, which might be his most valuable asset on Saturday. Moore posted on X, "God shows you everything at the right time", so it feels like he's poised to make his 2025 debut in Lincoln.
Other Michigan vs. Nebraska injury updates
Moore has six career interceptions and seven pass breakups. His impact is much bigger than that. In terms of other injuries, Giovanni El-Hadi, one of Michigan's starting guards, is expected to miss the game.
The other starting guard, Brady Norton, was out last week. Jake Guarnera started in his place and held up well. He could end up starting either way. Norton was expected to practice this week but his status is still up in the air.
With El-Hadi out, it would be a positive to at least have Norton back, even if he doesn't start the game.
