Michigan football fans can breathe a sigh of relief, at least regarding the status of Andrew Marsh and John Henry Daley for the Wolverines' game against Minnesota.
Marsh popped up on the injury report as questionable this week. It wasn't ideal since he had back-to-back 100-yard receiving games, but now Bryce Underwood will have his full complement of wide receivers against Minnesota, according to the final injury report.

It would have been interesting to see how the rotation played out if Marsh wasn't available. That would have been worrisome for the pass offense because another reliable target hasn't emerged. Maybe it will be Hogan Hansen or Salesi Moa, but for now, it's been Marsh or Buchanan.
Michigan injury report vs. Minnesota offers good news
Having both is really good news. The news got even better as John Henry Daley is expected to play, too. He was injured on the final play of the Iowa game, and after a season-ending injury a year ago, it was fair to be concerned.
However, Henry Daley will play along with Dominic Nichols. The Wolverines will have their best pass rushers. Andrew Sprague still isn't coming back. He was ruled out. Andrew Babalola is also out. Kyle Whittingham said earlier this week that he will return to practice next week.
You have to think that Sprague will have a chance to come back after the bye week. Evan Link will start at left tackle. It will be the same offensive line that started last week against Iowa. The Wolverines allowed one sack and rushed for 152 yards. Michigan finished with over 400.
Michigan enters Saturday's game against Minnesota as a 5.5-point favorite. The Wolverines need a bounce-back win after last week's 20-19 loss to Iowa. Whittingham said earlier this week it felt like the Wolverines were 0-4 instead of 3-1.
Losing to Minnesota won't help that feeling. Getting to the bye week at 4-1 is a necessity. It would be nice to see Michigan take control early and show how good it can be.
At the very least, Michigan will be relatively healthy.
