Michigan football may be working with one less body on its defensive front this season if reports of an injury to Bryan Mone are true.

Andrew Gorringe, a reporter for Scout.com based in Mone's hometown of Salt Lake City, Utah, reported via Twitter the sophomore defensive lineman is likely to miss the 2015 season because of a broken ankle suffered in practice.

An attempt to confirm by MLive.com was apparently rebuffed.

Mone played in 12 games last season, including one start. He had nine tackles and recovered a fumble.

A four-star recruit rated the No. 1 defensive tackle prospect in the West by Scout.com two years ago, Mone was in the mix with several others to rotate in the interior of new coordinator D.J. Durkin's defense.
