Michigan head coach Kyle Whittingham is aiming to integrate three key players back into practice sessions this week ahead of the upcoming game against Oklahoma. Tight end Hogan Hansen, offensive lineman Andrew Babalola, and edge rusher Carter Meadows were sidelined for the season opener but are expected to participate in training shortly. The Wolverines roster received a boost during the first game with the return of safety Rod Moore, who had been out since tearing his ACL in 2024. Additionally, edge rusher John Henry Daley made his debut for the team following a recovery from a ruptured Achilles tendon. Whittingham noted that while both Moore and Daley saw significant action against the Broncos, they are still working to regain their full form. The coaching staff continues to monitor the health of the squad as preparations for the Oklahoma matchup begin.
