... in the wake of a Saturday when many hit the turf. Probably the best news involves sophomore wideout Kekoa Crawford, who was getting all sorts of ugly projections about his possible injury when he went down in the Purdue game. He was cramping, and will be fine moving forward.
Obviously, sophomore tight end Nick Eubanks took quite a blow to the head in one of Purdue's two targeting plays involving player ejections. It's highly likely Eubanks is undergoing concussion protocol, with a bye week well timed.
Everyone wants to know about redshirt junior quarterback Wilton Speight, and Michigan will closely guard news on him, due to upcoming games. We'll say this much — this is not a long-term injury, in the manner of freshman wide receiver Tarik Black. On performance alone, it stands to reason fifth-year senior John O'Korn will get the nod against Michigan State, but Speight isn't going away and will be looking to battle back soon.
Redshirt sophomore Tyrone Wheatley Jr. remains in a cast, and therefore hasn't been targeted lately. He's another who will be helped considerably by the bye. Fifth-year senior tailback Ty Isaac, who played against Purdue, should be fine going forward.
Two freshmen to watch in the Michigan defensive backfield, who draw high praise from defensive coordinator Don Brown every week: cornerback Ambry Thomas and safety J'Marick Woods, who has been hailed as "the future."
