Rodriguez said Monday that Molk will not participate in spring drills because of the injury.

Molk returned to the lineup Saturday after missing four games with a broken foot.

The sophomore from Lemont, Ill., was a highly rated recruit who started every game last season as a redshirt freshman.

The Wolverines (5-3, 1-3 Big Ten) play this week at Illinois (1-6, 0-5) and need a win to become eligible for a bowl after losing three straight conference games.
