Michigan Wolverines defensive tackle Mason Graham has been dealing with an unspecified injury throughout fall camp but is expected to play in the season opener against Fresno State on Saturday. Defensive coordinator Wink Martindale mentioned that Graham has been 'banged up,' though the player himself reassured reporters of his readiness, stating, 'I feel good' and that he plans to play full speed. Despite his injury, Graham is a key player, having previously recorded 35 tackles and 3 sacks last season, and is anticipated to be a top NFL draft prospect. Alongside Graham, redshirt junior Rayshaun Benny is also recovering from a foot injury, but both players are expected to contribute to a strong defensive line this season. The Wolverines aim to maintain their defensive prowess from last season, where they excelled against both the run and pass. Michigan's season opener is set for Saturday, August 31, 2024.
