Michigan senior quarterback Chad Henne may practice today, Wolverines coach Lloyd Carr said, meaning there's at least a chance Henne could play against Penn State this weekend.

"We're going to go out here in a couple hours," Carr said shortly after noon on the Big Ten coaches' teleconference. "I wouldn't be surprised if he took some snaps. We'll have to see what goes on beyond that."

Henne suffered a right leg injury, which Carr termed a "sprain," against Oregon two weeks ago.
Freshman Ryan Mallett started in place of Henne last week against Notre Dame, a 38-0 Michigan win.

"We'll see how practice goes and see what transpires on the practice field this week, as far as the quarterback position," Carr said.

On Monday, Carr said Henne's status was "day-to-day" and didn't rule him out for Saturday's game, when the Wolverines (1-2) face the No. 10 Nittany Lions (3-0).
