The Ohio State Buckeyes have received an injury update for two key starters ahead of Week 2.
The Ohio State Buckeyes are gearing up to face Western Michigan in Week 2 of college football. After a commanding 52-6 victory over Akron last week, they’re optimistic about the potential return of two crucial starters.
Linebacker Cody Simon and offensive lineman Donovan Jackson both sat out Week 1 due to injuries, but there have been updates on their status.
While Simon and Jackson may make their comeback this week, the Buckeyes are taking a cautious approach. If they can’t play, there’s no need to panic.
“Cody Simon could return to linebacker, with Donovan Jackson possibly back at his usual left guard position, but it’s unlikely the Buckeyes will rush them, especially with tougher challenges ahead.”
As the season unfolds, Ohio State will rely heavily on both players to make a significant impact if they hope to clinch a National Championship. Staying healthy will be vital.
As this season’s “Block O” recipient, Simon is a key leader on the Buckeyes’ defense. Last season, he recorded 45 tackles and two defended passes, showcasing his playmaking ability and leadership.
Jackson will play a crucial role in protecting quarterback Will Howard, especially after the offensive line struggled against Akron.
The hope is that both players will return for the Western Michigan game. If not, Ohio State will need them back by Week 4 against Michigan State at the latest to prepare for their matchup with Iowa.
Stay tuned for updates on Simon and Jackson’s playing status in the coming days, as they seem to be closer to returning than they were last week.
