Ohio State will have running back Miyan Williams back against Michigan, while running back TreVeyon Henderson and wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba will be unavailable and right guard Matthew Jones is a game-time decision.

On Sunday, as he passed out donated turkeys, Corum told The Detroit News' Angelique Chengelis he would be back against Ohio Stae.

In the Wolverines' 19-17 win against Illinois Saturday, Corum was taken down near the right sideline grabbing his right knee and losing possession of the football.

Corum had one carry in the third quarter before sitting out the rest of the game.

"It was bothering him," Harbaugh said of why Corum didn't return again after the Illinois win. "He communicated with us, how does it feel, that's alright... you know they'll step up, next man up.

"Blake was coaching those guys, motivating them on, that's the kind of teammate he is. Nobody panicked."

Corum had 103 rushing yards on 17 carries in the first half against the Fighting Illini, including a 2-yard score in the first quarter.

Last season against Ohio State, Corum recorded 87 rushing yards on six carries.
