Kyle Whittingham gives latest on key Michigan injuries before Iowa

Michigan's football team faced several challenges ahead of their game against Iowa, as the Wolverines were missing key players due to injuries. Right tackle Andrew Sprague and cornerback Zeke Berry were both absent from Saturday's win against UTEP, with Sprague's injury surprising even head coach Kyle Whittingham. As of Monday morning, there were no updates on Sprague's status for the upcoming Iowa game.

Running back Jordan Marshall had also left the UTEP game in the second half due to a reaggravated injury, but Whittingham expressed confidence in Marshall's ability to play against Iowa. He emphasized that Marshall would have to work through his injury and perform at his best, regardless of the pain. Offensive tackle Andrew Babalola, who had a setback and will be out for an indeterminate amount of time, was not yet on the field.

Whittingham reiterated that injuries are an unfortunate part of the game and that the team must learn to deal with them as best they can. He stressed that all players must be ready to step up and produce, as the "next man up" mentality will be crucial throughout the rest of the season.
