Michigan practice update: Threet questionable, Milano suspendedby John Heuser The Ann Arbor News
Before practice Wednesday, Michigan athletic department spokesman Dave Ablauf said running back Mike Milano has been suspended from the team. Ablauf did not cite a reason for the suspension.
Milano, a redshirt junior and former Michigan wrestler, has not played this season. A year ago, he carried the ball five times.
Ablauf said Michigan coach Rich Rodriguez would not comment about the situation because of an ongoing investigation by the university's department of public safety.
Threet's status still in doubt
Quarterback Steven Threet remains a question mark for Saturday's game at Penn State. Rodriguez said that Threet, who suffered a bruised elbow in Michigan's loss to Toledo, did very little throwing at Tuesday's practice, but was expected to throw more on Wednesday.
"If he's 100 percent he'll start, if he's 80 percent or something like that, he won't," Rodriguez said. "It depends how good he is."
Improving health
Rodriguez said that three starters who missed the Toledo game, slot receiver Martavious Odoms (shoulder), cornerback Donovan Warren (leg) and defensive end Brandon Graham (leg) will play Saturday. Junior running back Brandon Minor (ribs) is expected to play, as well.
