Michigan will also play the Dec. 29 bowl game against Florida without defensive end Rashan Gary, who is skipping his senior season and entering the NFL draft.

Paul will undergo an MRI today to determine the severity and likely timetable for returning, but head coach Mike D'Antoni said it could be some time before his point guard is back.
