Michigan takes advantage of depth, early schedule to rest injuries

Michigan's considerable depth on the defensive line will get a bit of a test this weekend without the help of mainstays Taco Charlton at defensive end and Bryan Mone on the interior.

Wolverines coach Jim Harbaugh said he didn't expect either player to at the Big House this Saturday against Central Florida. The coach went on to say he wasn't sure when the two players would return, but it doesn't appear that either is in for a long-term recovery. The line's depth, in fact, might be what's keeping Charlton, Mone and a few other Michigan stars on the sideline in the first couple weeks of the season.
