Amid speculation, Michigan teammates back injured DE Rashan Gary

ANN ARBOR -- Rashan Gary's mom took to social media last week to try and swat down speculation that her son might be done playing football at Michigan.

Now, teammates of the all-Big Ten defensive end are weighing in.

Speaking to reporters Monday ahead of Michigan's game Saturday against Penn State (3:45 p.m., ESPN), defensive tackle Carlo Kemp said Gary -- dealing with an injury to the acromioclavicular joint in his shoulder -- is working hard to return.

"Everything he does -- if it's football, he's working hard -- he's trying to be the best," Kemp said.
