Week 6 UW Availability Report: Durfee, Two Others Questionable vs Michigan

Washington could be without a pair of starters in its national championship rematch against No. 10 Michigan on Saturday at Husky Stadium.

Senior edge rusher Zach Durfee and junior starting left guard Gaard Memmelaar, along with junior walk-on tight end Owen Coutts, are all listed as questionable for the Huskies (3-2, 1-1 Big Ten) going into the Week 6 contest.

Durfee, a 6-foot-5, 256-pound Minnesota native missed UW's last home game against Northwestern but returned for the 21-18 loss at Rutgers last Friday, recording a pair of tackles.

Likewise, the Wolverines (4-1, 2-0) will be without junior edge Derrick Moore, graduate transfer cornerback Aamir Hall and fifth-year offensive lineman Myles Hinton against the Huskies, while star cornerback Will Johnson remains listed as questionable, the same designation last week against Minnesota.

UW junior defensive lineman Russell Davis II, graduate transfer safety Justin Harrington, junior safety Makell Esteen and junior cornerback Darren Barkins have all been removed from the availability report going into the game against Michigan, which should help the defense from a depth perspective.

If Memmelaar isn't able to play Saturday the expectation is sophomore Landen Hatchett will start at left guard in his place.
