All-American Michigan cornerback Will Johnson is out against No. 1 Oregon on Saturday, leaving the Wolverines without their top defensive player.
Johnson left the Illinois game on Oct. 19 with a lower-body injury and missed the Michigan State game last week. He is still recovering from that lower-body injury, and his timeline to return is uncertain.
Michigan coach Sherrone Moore said earlier this week that Johnson is expected back at some point this season "for sure" but didn't specify when.
Johnson is considered the top cornerback prospect for the upcoming NFL draft.
