Lee Barfknecht Omaha World-Herald

The Michigan football team will have to replace second-team All-Big Ten linebacker Jake Ryan, who suffered a torn ACL in Tuesday’s scrimmage.

Ryan led the Wolverines in tackles last season with 88, with 16 for loss and four forced fumbles.

With ACL recovery times from 6 to 12 months, Ryan is doubtful for the coming season.
