Michigan has issued its official injury report for Saturday's home game against No. 13 Penn State (ABC, 3:30 p.m. ET).

OUT

CB Zac Johnson, shoulder

PROBABLE (75 percent chance of playing)

RB Carlos Brown, concussion
RB Brandon Minor, ankle
C David Molk, foot

Head coach Rich Rodriguez said Wednesday that both Brown and Molk are fully participating in practice, so expect them to play Saturday. There's more uncertainty surrounding Minor, who continues to be limited by a chronic ankle injury. Rodriguez doesn't underrate the value of having Minor on the field against Penn State, a team against which he ran for 117 yards and two touchdowns last season. Penn State will be down a running back, as backup Stephfon Green won't make the trip to Ann Arbor because of an ankle injury. Michigan's game captains will be Brown, linebacker Stevie Brown, punter Zoltan Mesko and guard David Moosman.
