Michigan football's Gemon Green to play, but 5 other starters out vs. Rutgers

PISCATAWAY, N.J. — One week after he was hit in the head with a helmet during a scuffle in the Lloyd Carr tunnel, Michigan football's Gemon Green is back in uniform.

The defensive back suffered a concussion, his attorney told the Free Press on Monday — the same day coach Jim Harbaugh said he was unsure if he would be able to make the trip to play Rutgers on Saturday. Ja'Den McBurrows, the other Michigan player involved in the incident who reportedly suffered a broken nose, did not make the trip.

The Wolverines are as banged up as they've been all season; missing five starters including two on the offensive line, one wide receiver, and two defenders.
