ANN ARBOR -- Michigan All-Big Ten defensive back Jabrill Peppers is "working through something" at the moment, and his status for Michigan's Citrus Bowl game against Florida is uncertain.

Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh confirmed the news Saturday afternoon, but opted not to get into specifics as it relates to Peppers' injury situation.

Asked if he'll be available for the Citrus Bowl, he replied: "We'll see."

Earlier this week, The Michigan Daily reported that Peppers was spotted on campus with his hand in a cast.

Peppers was not in attendance at Michigan's annual team banquet earlier this week, though a Michigan spokesman said his absence was due to an academic conflict.

The 6-foot-1, 205-pound Peppers -- the Big Ten's freshman of the year -- finished the regular season with 45 tackles (5 1/2 for a loss) and 10 pass breakups on defense. He played safety, corner and nickel for the Wolverines. He also earned second-team All-America status as a safety this week from Sports Illustrated.

Offensively, Peppers carried the ball 18 times for 72 yards and 2 touchdowns during the regular season. He also caught 8 passes for 79 yards, returned 17 punts for 194 yards and 8 kickoffs for 223 yards.

Michigan plays Florida on Jan. 1 (1 p.m., ABC) in Orlando, Florida.
