Michigan Football News: Wolverines Still Hoping Tarik Black Can Return This Season

Michigan Wolverines wide receiver Tarik Black has not played since suffering a broken foot against Air Force on Sept. 16, but head coach Jim Harbaugh said on Monday that the team has not ruled him out for the season yet.

"He's still healing," Harbaugh said on the "Inside Michigan Football" radio show. "Takes bones so long to heal. But he's coming to meetings. He's been around. He has a good attitude."

Black underwent surgery to repair the crack in a bone on the outside of his foot shortly following the injury.

Michigan's passing attack has struggled since Black went down, ranking 98th in the country in both passing yards and total yards per game.

Harbaugh also said that starting quarterback Wilton Speight, who is out indefinitely after suffering multiple cracked vertebrae against Purdue on Sept. 21, also has not been ruled out for the year.
