Michigan Beats Washington 24–7 Without Justice Haynes as Concern Rises Over Evan Link Injury

Sherrone Moore prioritized long-term health in holding key players out.

Overview

  • Justice Haynes was listed as questionable on the Big Ten pregame report and ultimately did not play against Washington.
  • Redshirt freshman Jordan Marshall started at running back and delivered a career-best 133 rushing yards with a touchdown in the victory.
  • Starting left tackle Evan Link left with a non-contact lower-body injury, and Moore said the severity is unknown but "doesn't look too good."
  • Pre-game scratches included safeties Rod Moore and Brandyn Hillman and tight ends Marlin Klein and Hogan Hansen, with defensive tackle Trey Pierce listed as questionable.
  • Moore said the staff waited for players to be at full strength before clearing them, as Michigan shifts focus to next week’s trip to Michigan State.
