Michigan football running back Chris Evans has missed the past three games with a leg strain but could be back in uniform Saturday vs. Wisconsin.
U-M running backs coach Jay Harbaugh told reporters Wednesday the team expects Evans to be available this weekend.
"He's ready to play," Harbaugh said. "We're expecting him to and we'll see what happens Saturday."
Harbaugh said he believed Evans was close three weeks ago during the middle of the week prior to the Big Ten opener against Nebraska.
