Michigan tight end Colston Loveland and cornerback Will Johnson are officially out against Ohio State, depriving the Wolverines of two of their top players for The Game.

As Michigan prepares for what might just be the most important game left on their 2024 schedule, a Week 14 showdown against Ohio State at “The Horseshoe,” the Wolverines have been hit with some disappointing news on star tight end Colston Loveland, who left the field last week against Northwestern and has been limited all week in practice.
