Michigan running back Justice Haynes is reportedly undergoing surgery to repair a lower extremity injury suffered during the Wolverines’ win over Michigan State.
According to CBS Sports’ Matt Zenitz, Haynes sustained the injury in the Week 9 game against the Spartans and will have surgery but still hopes to return at some point this season.

Haynes was seen on the sidelines last Saturday wearing a boot and using a scooter for mobility. Michigan has a bye this week before facing Northwestern, Maryland, and Ohio State to close out the regular season.
