Michigan offensive tackles Jalen Mayfield and Ryan Hayes, who have missed the last three games while recovering from injuries, have been practicing and could return soon to the lineup.
Both started the first two games of the season, but have not played since. Mayfield, the right tackle and only returning starter from last season, has been working through a high-ankle sprain, while Hayes has been dealing with turf toe.
The Wolverines (2-3) are preparing to face Penn State (0-5) on Saturday at Michigan Stadium.
“They’re both practicing, so we’re just working seeing how quickly they can come back,” offensive line coach Ed Warinner said Wednesday during a video conference with reporters.
