Ann Arbor — It remains unclear whether Michigan defensive backs Gemon Green and Ja’Den McBurrows, injured in last Saturday night’s Michigan Stadium tunnel incident after the Michigan-Michigan State game, will be available for the Wolverines matchup at Rutgers this weekend.
Green suffered a concussion and facial cuts and McBurrows a broken nose, and Michigan State has suspended eight players. A police investigation is ongoing and Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh this week said there could be criminal charges.
Steve Clinskscale, the Wolverines’ co-defensive coordinator who also coaches the defensive backs, said the team has been focused on helping Green, a starting cornerback, and McBurrows, a reserve, move forward.
