Ann Arbor – Michigan defensive lineman Bryan Mone has been practicing this week and could be ready to return Saturday when the Wolverines face Wisconsin.
Mone, who missed all of last season with an injury, was injured in the season opener against Hawaii and has not played since. Earlier this week, coach Jim Harbaugh said he was “hopeful” Mone would return for this game.
Defensive line coach Greg Mattison said Mone has practiced this week and the staff will make a decision about his availability by the end of the week.
“He’s been great,” Mattison said Wednesday before practice.
