Michigan cornerback Will Johnson is not expected to play against Ohio State on Saturday, leaving the Wolverines without their top defensive back and the program's highest-regarded NFL draft prospect.

Johnson has been battling a toe injury, and his lack of availability had become an expectation as he battled the injury. ESPN reported on Saturday that Johnson was unlikely to play this week, and that will come to fruition against the No. 2 Buckeyes.

Johnson hasn't played since Oct. 19 when he left the Illinois game with the toe injury.
