Michigan LT Grant Newsome has season-ending knee injury

— -- Michigan?starting left tackle Grant Newsome will miss the remainder of the season with a serious knee injury, coach Jim Harbaugh announced Monday.

Newsome injured his right knee during the first half of Saturday's victory over No. 8 Wisconsin. He hobbled off the field with the help of two trainers. Harbaugh said the damage was "as serious as a knee injury can be."

"We're praying for him right now," Harbaugh said. "It's not a good feeling at all."

Harbaugh said he wasn't sure yet how long the recovery process would be for Newsome or whether it could have longer-term implications on the true sophomore's football career.
