Michigan football will be down both of its starting tackles against No. 6 Indiana (noon, Fox).
Tackle Blake Frazier, who opened the season on the left side before Andrew Sprague was lost and U-M flipped him to the right side, is out, per the Big Ten's game day availability report.
He's been a mainstay on an offensive line that's now using its sixth iteration through seven games. Michigan will have former five-star Andrew Babalola available, and he could possibly see the first action of his career. If so, coach Kyle Whittingham likes him on the left side. That could mean Michigan bumps Evan Link back into left guard (where he started the year) and would need to make a decision at right tackle; that could be the versatile Brady Norton or possibly true freshman Marky Walbridge.
There's also a chance U-M flips Link to the right side and starts Nathan Efobi and Avery Gach at the two guard spots.
In any event, it will be a new combination up front protecting true freshman quarterback Tommy Carr, who is expected to make his first career start.
The other notable updates: safety Rod Moore and Enow Etta are both listed as game-time decisions.
Moore, a three-time captain, left last week's 21-18 win over Penn State after recording a diving interception, before he went to the medical tent and was subsequently carted up the tunnel. He's been listed as questionable all week, and his status was on the fence.
THE PICKS: Michigan football vs Indiana predictions
Etta did not leave last week's game with any clear injury and spoke with media postgame but has been listed as questionable since the first report came out on Wednesday. Michigan has primarily rotated three defensive tackles with Etta, Trey Pierce and Jonah Lea'ea. If Etta can't go, it would likely mean more time for Bobby Kanka or Deyvid Palepale, both of whom have been fighting for the fourth and fifth spots.
The only other players who are out were all expected including Sprague, tight end Mason Bonner and wide receiver Kendrick Bell among the players who've seen time this season.
