Ann Arbor – Michigan starting buck linebacker Mario Ojemudia will miss the rest of the season because of an Achilles tendon injury, coach Jim Harbaugh confirmed on Monday at his weekly news conference.
Ojemudia suffered the injury in the second half of the Maryland game Saturday.
Royce Jenkins-Stone is now listed as the starter on the most recent depth chart with Lawrence Marshall as the backup.
"It's hard to replace a guy like Mario, obviously the way he plays, how he gets his job done, but the greatest thing about football, you've got somebody working just as hard, pushing right behind you trying to take your spot and makes you better," linebacker and captain Joe Bolden said Monday.
