Michigan quarterback J.J. McCarthy has shoulder injury; surgery not expected

Michigan quarterback J.J. McCarthy has been limited in spring practice, which resumed Monday, and will continue to rest his right (throwing) shoulder for at least the next two months.

McCarthy is not expected to have surgery on the shoulder, several sources told The Detroit News. The injury has been more of a nagging issue since before the bowl game, and the plan is for McCarthy to avoid throwing, go through rehab, and allow it time to heal.

Michigan opened spring practice Feb. 21 and held three practices before taking off last week for spring break. Practice resumes this week.
