The goal for the Michigan Wolverines was to play a clean game against Indiana, get the win, and escape without any injuries.

Unfortunately, that does not look to be the case as the Wolverines’ heart and soul of the defense Chase Winovich was injured on Saturday against the Hoosiers.
In the 3rd quarter, Winovich was rushing and he was knocked to the ground and that’s exactly where he stayed until Jim Harbaugh and the Michigan trainers came to his side.
After watching the replay it looks as if Winovich may have injured his shoulder but that is just speculation at this point.

Chase Winovich down and injured. Not a good scene for Michigan. He’s been the heart and soul of their top-ranked defense. pic.twitter.com/m9isyuDKvV

Detroit Lions’ Matt Patricia fires back at media for criticizing ‘snow practice’
On Thursday, many were surprised that Detroit Lions head coach Matt Patricia made the decision to have his team practice in the snow. Most of the criticism was based on the fact the Lions next three games will be played at Ford Field and their fourth will be played in Arizona.
Today, Patricia spoke to the media and be began with a prepared statement about his decision to practice in the snow. It was pretty clear he was not thrilled with the media for their criticisms.
Via the Detroit Free Press:
“In regards to practice, a couple comments I just want to make on this topic and provide some maybe insight and let’s call it closure to this continual conversation that we have here as far as our training. First, we’ll always practice and train in a manner that looks out for our players’ ability to prepare each week for our opponent, while also taking care of and including all the parameters to the overall health and safety of our team. Indoor walk-throughs, which we had this week, which we’ve also had in the past, are always beneficial to our team, it’s beneficial to our players. It’s a great teaching and learning environment. It’s an opportunity for us to pull off them physically, the demands of practice and the overall hustle and pursuit of what we have to do during the course of a practice and our movements.
