Michigan quarterback J.J. McCarthy has taken part in practices this spring, but in a limited capacity.
Jim Harbaugh told the media in March that McCarthy has lingering arm soreness from the season. There was no surgery needed and they have a long-term plan for his arm health. Part of that plan meant McCarthy wouldn’t throw this spring if he’s not ready to.
McCarthy may be inching closer to throwing, but he didn’t line up at quarterback during Michigan’s spring game. However, McCarthy did see the field as a placeholder on field goals and extra points for the Maize team.
