ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) - Michigan safety Ryan Mundy is expected to miss the rest of the season with a nerve injury.

"I do not expect Ryan to take part in any game competition this fall," coach Lloyd Carr said Monday at his weekly news conference. "We're disappointed that his injury is not responding as we had hoped, and he has decided to rest it and see what happens in spring practice."

Carr would only call the problem a "nerve injury."

Mundy started all 12 games at free safety as a sophomore in 2004, and was expected to start again this year. He intercepted two passes and was fourth on the team with 51 tackles last season.

Since Mundy started his career as a freshman in 2003, he is eligible to redshirt this year and return as a junior in 2006.
