Michigan suffered a big loss over the weekend. The Wolverines beat Wisconsin but lost starting LT Grant Newsome for miss the rest of the season with a serious knee injury.

Head coach Jim Harbaugh told reporters that Newsome's injured right knee would likely need a "surgical procedure."

"It's as serious as a knee injury can be right now," Harbaugh said Monday.

Juwan Bushell-Beaty is one of several options the Wolverines coach discussed to replace Newsome.

The 5-0 Wolverines are at Rutgers this Saturday and then have an open date next weekend before hosting Illinois Oct. 22.
