Colston Loveland #18 of the Michigan Wolverines
Michigan Wolverines fans held their breath on Saturday as standout tight end Colston Loveland was escorted off the field by the athletic training staff during the second half of the game against Arkansas State. Loveland, who appeared to be favoring his left arm, was taken back to the locker room, raising concerns about the severity of his injury.
During the first half, Loveland had a solid performance, including a 20-yard reception over the middle in the second quarter. It was shortly after this catch that he began to show signs of discomfort, holding his arm and drawing attention from the medical staff.
An update was provided on the Big Ten Network broadcast, with reports suggesting that Loveland was “good to go.” However, less than five minutes into the second half, he was escorted to the locker room for further evaluation, leaving his status for the remainder of the game unclear.
For Michigan, Loveland has been a key part of the offense, with his size and athleticism making him a reliable target for the Wolverines’ passing game. His potential absence could be a significant blow as the season progresses, though the early update was optimistic.
As the Wolverines continue their 2024 campaign, all eyes will be on Loveland’s health, hoping he can return to full strength soon.
