Michigan is expected to receive a humongous boost to its roster ahead of Saturday’s highly anticipated, undefeated matchup against Ohio State. Wolverines star running back Blake Corum will attempt to play in the 2022 edition of The Game despite suffering a knee injury just a week ago, according to ESPN’s Pete Thamel.
Corum sustained the knee injury late in the first half of the 19–17 win over the Fighting Illini. He managed to return to the game, but took on a much smaller role in the final two quarters, as Jim Harbaugh had to rely heavily upon freshman C.J. Stokes to shoulder the load out of the backfield.
Shortly after last weekend’s game, Corum expressed optimism about his status for the rivalry contest against Michigan. While performing charity work on Sunday, using his NIL money to donate Thanksgiving turkeys to families in Ypsilanti, Mich, he said that his knee was “good” and vowed to be back for the rivalry contest.
