Michigan Football Healthy for 2026 | Michigan Wolverines Football News

Michigan football is off to a strong start in 2026—health-wise. Coach Whittingham is thrilled the team is injury-free heading into their opener against Western Michigan, despite a few lingering concerns like Andrew Babalola’s ACL recovery and Rod Moore’s rehab. Meanwhile, transfer John Henry Daley is back and explosive after his Achilles rehab. The staff has dialed back practice intensity to protect star QB Bryce Underwood, who hasn’t even taken live rushes yet. Their goal? Keep the core healthy, clean up tackling (aiming for under nine tackles missed per game), and hit the field ready—not perfect, but prepared.
