Michigan will be missing one of its top defensive players during a matchup with No. 1 Oregon on Saturday.

Standout cornerback Will Johnson will miss his second straight game for the Wolverines due to a lower-body injury, according to ESPN's Pete Thamel.

Johnson suffered the injury in the first half of Michigan's 21-7 loss to Illinois on Oct. 19. His timeline to get back on the field is uncertain, per Thamel.

Wolverines head coach Sherrone Moore was noncommittal regarding a return date for Johnson, but he still expected him to come back before the end of the season.
