The Michigan Wolverines will be trying to defend their College Football Playoff title next season, but it sounds like they could be without one of their top returning players as a result of a brutal practice injury.
According to a report from Matt Zenitz of 247 Sports, Michigan Wolverines star safety Rod Moore suffered a torn ACL during practice on Sunday, putting his status for the upcoming 2024 season very much in doubt.
“Some unfortunate injury news: Michigan standout safety Rod Moore suffered a torn ACL during the Wolverines’ practice yesterday, sources tell @247Sports. Moore, a starter for Michigan each of the last three years, was an All-Big Ten selection last season,” Zenitz said in a post on X, the social media website that was formerly known as Twitter.

Moore has been a three-year starter for the Michigan Wolverines and was a key returning starter on the defensive side of the ball.
Playing in 12 games last season, Moore finished the season with 38 total tackles as well as a pair of interceptions, including the game-sealing interception at the end of Michigan’s win over the Ohio State Buckeyes to close out the regular season.
It’s certainly a horrible loss for the Wolverines as they prepare for the upcoming season.
