Michigan held their last open practice of the spring on Saturday. And like their practices at IMG Academy in Florida, this too was an off-campus practice taken place at Ford Field in downtown Detroit. Thanks to it being open to the public, there was plenty of coverage which means plenty of analysis, photos, videos and news, including a couple players deciding to retire due to injuries.

Quarterbacks

Wilton Speight takes the first snap of the day.

— Nick Baumgardner (@nickbaumgardner) March 26, 2016

It’s Wilton Speight in front of John O’Korn right now in 11 on 11. But both are working with the 1’s

— Nick Baumgardner (@nickbaumgardner) March 26, 2016

Reps were not even, though. Speight got more.

The bad – Ahmir Mitchell told to run though drill again because technique wasn’t right. The good – finishes 2nd go with great 1-handed catch

Teenage Mutant Tight Ends

This is kind of funny – TEs line up w/ hands behind back. Jay H fires it at them randomly. Drops or flinches w/o pass to them – eliminated.

Play of the day by Wheatley jr. post route that peters lasered. Wheatley snagged with one hand 25 yards down field & was off to the races

Tyrone Wheatley Jr. with a one-handed grab … Outran the DBs for a 70-yard TD

— Nick Baumgardner (@nickbaumgardner) March 26, 2016

Bush had great coverage, grabbed Wheatley’s other arm. Still made the catch. Is mutant.

Gentry looks like he’ll be just fine at tight end. Young man has wheels for his size.

— Anthony Broome (@anthonytbroome) March 26, 2016

Zach Gentry looks a lot better at TE than he did in Florida. Far more comfortable/smooth.

— Nick Baumgardner (@nickbaumgardner) March 26, 2016

Gentry just got a catch for 40-some yards. He was wide open.

— Brandon Justice (@BrandonCJustice) March 26, 2016

O’Korn to Gentry. Great catch by Gentry. pic.twitter.com/cgQit8iuKD

Taco charlton beat Newsome clean off the line to flush speight and force a throw away

— Sam Webb (@SamWebb77) March 26, 2016

Taco charlton in for another would-be sack. Defending really stifling the passing game this round. Only completions on a few short crosses

— Sam Webb (@SamWebb77) March 26, 2016

Taco Charlton is everywhere. In on another sack.

— Brandon Justice (@BrandonCJustice) March 26, 2016

Linebackers

This defense is aggressive. Think I saw every linebacker and safety spot come in on a blitz at some point over a 15-play segment.

Joe Hewlett bounced a run outside … looked to have a big gainer… bush jr chased him down from behind to prevent 1st down

Devin Bush with a great open field tackle.

— Brandon Justice (@BrandonCJustice) March 26, 2016

— Sam Webb (@SamWebb77) March 26, 2016

Channing Stribling looks unbelievable so far.

— Brandon Justice (@BrandonCJustice) March 26, 2016

Tyree kinnel jumped a O’korn pass in the flat and took it back for 6

Participating in drills (helmet, no pads) – Ryan glasgow

— Sam Webb (@SamWebb77) March 26, 2016

Looks like Kingston Davis and Ryan Glasgow are running the stairs here at Ford Field. Better than at Michigan Stadium, I suppose.

Jaron Dukes has decided to “medically retire”

— Sam Webb (@SamWebb77) March 26, 2016

Jaron Dukes and Reon Dawson are ‘medically retiring,’ per Harbaugh. Mo Ways suffered a broken bone in his foot recently. Out a few months.

— Nick Baumgardner (@nickbaumgardner) March 26, 2016

Per harbaugh Freddy canteen had surgery on his shoulder. Waiting for results to see if he can continue with his career

— Sam Webb (@SamWebb77) March 26, 2016

More ways came down wrong on his foot on a TD grab in practice yesterday. Will likely require surgery
