**Michigan's Lineup Shaken by Injuries Ahead of Illinois Game**
Michigan is facing significant challenges as it prepares to take on Illinois, with cornerback Ja'Den McBurrows confirmed to be out for the season. This development compounds the difficulties for an already struggling secondary. Further complicating matters, defensive tackles Enow Etta and Rayshaun Benny have been added to the injury report, reducing the depth of the defensive line. Expect Mason Graham and Kenneth Grant to see heavy playtime due to these absences.
The injury report also sheds light on a few upgrades for Michigan. Linebacker Jimmy Rolder, left tackle Myles Hinton, and cornerback Aamir Hall, who missed the last game against UW, have been upgraded to questionable. These updates bring some optimism to the team’s overall readiness.
On a positive note, edge rusher Derrick Moore is no longer listed on the injury report after missing the UW game two weeks ago. Likewise, cornerback Will Johnson, previously marked as questionable, has been cleared to play. Center Dominick Giudice has also been cleared, and may participate in the game, potentially taking the spot of Greg Crippen, who had a strong performance against UW.
The game between Michigan and Illinois is set to kick off at 3:30 p.m. on CBS. Michigan must navigate these recent injury developments to secure a win against Illinois.
