ANN ARBOR -- Michigan’s situation at running back was less than ideal at the start of spring practice, and things haven’t gotten any better.

The Wolverines are currently practicing with just one returning scholarship player, Tru Wilson, who remains at the top of the depth chart as of early April.

Injuries have otherwise ravaged the group, which began the 15-practice spring without presumed starter Chris Evans, who Michigan is only saying at this point is no longer on the team.

Christian Turner, a redshirt freshman who played in three games last season, suffered a hamstring injury on Day 2 of practice and has been sidelined ever since. Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh is hopeful that the 5-foot-11, 200-pound Turner can return either this weekend or next, allowing him to get four or five practices in before the end of the month.

Meanwhile, Hassan Haskins, who the coaching staff moved from defense after playing in three games as a freshman, has also been slowed thanks to a meniscus injury,

“He’s trying to get through what he can in spring ball, and so far it’s been a couple of practices,” Harbaugh said of Haskins on Wednesday, with his team seven practices in.

“He might back it back for some practices toward the end, but I think he’s going to need a procedure when spring football is over.”

Making matters worse for the Wolverines, others who began emerging have fallen victim to injury, too. Lucas Andrighetto, a walk-on from Mountain View, Calif., suffered a torn ACL over the weekend and Jared Char, a senior walk-on from Farmington Hills, has been sidelined the first seven practices with a hamstring injury.

“Just makes me physically sick," Harbaugh said of Andrighetto’s injury. “He was doing so well. He switched positions from safety to running back and was doing great. He was high up on the depth chart.”

With all of the injuries (four-star freshman Zach Charbonnet remains sidelined all of spring too after having an undisclosed procedure in January), freshman Ben VanSumeren -- a former tight end -- is now No. 2 on the depth chart.

Behind Wilson and VanSumeren? Sophomore Julian Garrett, a walk-on from Centreville, Va.

Combined, Michigan is currently only working with 364 yards and one touchdown worth of offense from a season ago, while trying to install a new spread-based scheme under new offensive coordinator Josh Gattis.

Injuries have also impacted the wide receiver group, which has been without its top two wideouts from 2018, Donovan Peoples-Jones and Nico Collins, for the entire spring, too. On Wednesday, Harbaugh said Peoples-Jones’ groin injury was “more serious" than previously thought.

Asked whether all of the injuries on the offensive side of the ball might slow the install, Harbaugh said his players remain engaged.

“Everybody is taking mental reps who hasn’t been in there,” Harbaugh said. "Even Lucas Andrighetto in the meeting, two days after finding out he had an ACL, was asking questions. How do I know if I’m getting the ball, or a receiver’s getting the ball, on a fly sweep? He was adamant about knowing.

“And I can say that about just every player we have on the team. They’ve been engaged when it comes to walkthroughs and meetings. Guys that haven’t been taking the reps are still up in the front row."
