The biggest question now is when did he first test positive for coronavirus. Word first broke Sunday, but there’s been some chatter that the test could have been administered earlier.
If the test came earlier than Sunday, then I think there’s a real chance he could play against Michigan. If it came on Sunday, then he’s out for the next three games.

It’s a damn shame, but let’s just go out there and get the job done.
