Adrian Arrington rejoins Wolverines; Grady and Manningham making progress
Two months after suspending star wide receiver Adrian Arrington indefinitely for unspecified reasons, Coach Carr has allowed Arrington to rejoin the team for summer conditioning. Arrington is apparently earning his spot back through the fulfillment of several conditions outlined by Carr, which include running the steps at Michigan Stadium for an hour starting at 6 am each day for 60 consecutive days. Though Carr hasn’t guaranteed that Arrington would be back in the fall, he mentioned that Arrington “wants very much to be a part of this team, so he’s done the things that I’ve asked him to do. He’s working out. He’s in our summer conditioning program. We’re all hoping he’s going to be here (this fall), but it’s really up to him. We’ll see what develops.”
In other news, running back Kevin Grady and wide receiver Mario Manningham, two key playmakers who were kept out of spring practice by knee injuries, are making progress. Grady, who had surgery to repair a torn ACL, is “ahead of schedule” and “could practice at some point this fall.” Manningham is healthy and participating in summer conditioning.
