Coming out of the open week the Indiana Hoosiers are fairly healthy. The two injuries that are pertinent to this week’s matchup with Michigan are to offensive lineman Jason Spriggs and bandit Nick Mangieri. Spriggs suffered a neck injury that looked more serious than it turned out to be. He had to be carted off the field in the Hoosiers last game against the Spartans. However, he was cleared by doctors that night and has been practicing with the team according to head coach Kevin Wilson and should be able to play on Saturday. Nick Mangeiri was also banged up against Michigan State on a play that was called a chop block. Mangeiri is an important part of this Hoosiers defense. He also has been called probable by the Hoosiers coaching staff.

The Indiana Hoosiers suffered more than a loss on the scoreboard today. Quarterback Nate Sudfeld was diagnosed with a shoulder separation that was bad enough to limit him to less than one half of football. Wilson said this after the game Saturday, "His left shoulder got landed on. It's some degree of a separation and we'll evaluate it when we get back. I don't know if it's short or long term." No timetable has been announced for his injury, but the prognosis could be anywhere from a week to possibly six. Chris Covington replaced Sudfeld today and went three for 12 with two interceptions.
