Hoke says if the Buffalo Wild Wings Bowl was on Monday, freshman Shane Morris would take snaps for the Wolverines against Kansas State.
The coach says Gardner, who is wearing a protective boot, would have to practice by Wednesday to play in Saturday night's game. Hoke says Gardner had a setback and met with doctors last Friday.
Morris was 5 of 9 for 65 yards with one interception in two games this season.
Hoke says kicker Brendan Gibbons won't be with the team in Arizona because of a family matter. Matt Wile will kick in the bowl game as he did against Ohio State after the team said Gibbons was out with an injury.
