Michigan coach Rich Rodriguez said he expected quarterback Steven Threet to practice Tuesday after missing last week with a concussion.

Threet sat out the Wolverines' 29-6 victory over Minnesota Saturday because of lingering effects from a concussion suffered against Purdue. If indeed he did practice, Threet was to share reps with Nick Sheridan in preparation for this week's game against Northwestern.

Running back Brandon Minor (shoulder, ribs, wrist) was not expected to practice Tuesday but still could play this week.

Rodriguez shared the above information during Tuesday's Big Ten coaches teleconference.
