Michigan's injury availability report against Texas: QB Jack Tuttle questionable

Michigan football has almost all players available for the top-10 duel with Texas on Saturday afternoon in Ann Arbor.

Three Michigan players are listed on the Big Ten Conference availability report: The Wolverines are missing safeties Jaden Mangham and Rod Moore and wide receiver Joe Taylor.

Jack Tuttle, seventh-year quarterback and last year's backup, is questionable after missing the opening game. Moore (torn ACL) and Taylor (unknown) also missed last week; Mangham is new to the injured list.

Tuttle competed for the starting quarterback position alongside starter Davis Warren and backup Alex Orji, but was injured in the offseason.

No. 3 Texas will be without running backs CJ Baxter and Christian Clark, both of whom suffered season-ending injuries in the preseason, as well as reserve quarterback Trey Owens.

The Longhorns won their first game 52-0 against Colorado State, featuring a strong offense led by Ohio State transfer quarterback Quinn Ewers and talented playmakers like wide receiver Isaiah Bond and running back duo Jaydon Blue and Jerrick Gibson.

Moore, who was voted captain of the team, is expected to miss his entire final season due to rehabilitation from a torn ACL he suffered in spring training.

Mangham, a junior, transferred from Michigan State in May. He played in 11 games for the Spartans last season, collecting 53 tackles and a team-high four interceptions.

Taylor, a veteran receiver for Chelsea, is out with an unspecified injury.
