It appears Michigan will be without one of their blockers when the season begins. Offensive lineman Andrew Steuber is out indefinitely with a leg injury suffered during their practice on Tuesday, according to a report from 97.1 FM.
Steuber was in a competition for the starting right tackle position with freshman Jalen Mayfield, but with Steuber out of the picture, it looks like Mayfield will win the job after all by default.
This week, Michigan offensive coordinator Josh Gattis said that he was impressed with both Steuber and Mayfield, but that the team was not able to declare a starter at the position yet.
Steuber had a slight edge to win the job himself, or at least to get meaningful snaps as a reserve. He played in 13 games last season, including two starts at right tackle.
Michigan opens their season on Aug. 31 against Middle Tennessee State.
