Michigan WR Tarik Black out several weeks with fractured foot

Michigan wide receiver Tarik Black will miss several weeks because of a fractured right foot, coach Jim Harbaugh said Monday.

Harbaugh was uncertain whether Black, who missed most of last season with a foot injury, would need surgery.

The fracture is similar to the one Black suffered last year to his left foot, according to Harbaugh.

Black, who was hurt during practice Saturday, had 11 receptions for 149 yards and a touchdown in three games last season before his season-ending surgery.

The 14th-ranked Wolverines open the season Saturday night at No. 12 Notre Dame.

If Black is out for an extended period, it would be a setback, because he has been one of Shea Patterson's top receivers in practice, along with Donovan Peoples-Jones and Grant Perry.
