Michigan football freshman RB Zach Charbonnet out for spring practices

Michigan football freshman running back Zach Charbonnet enrolled in school early and has been with the team since January, but won't play during spring practice this year due to a minor knee injury.

Coach Jim Harbaugh told reporters Monday that the running back from California, who was U-M's top incoming offensive recruit this year, is recovering well but won't be on the field with the offense over the next month.

"Zach came in with a procedure we needed to get done. He needed to get a scope for a meniscus. It was very low, everything was taken out and it was designed for what would be best for him long-term, to go ahead and get that done here and not participate in spring ball," Harbaugh said.
