Ohio State RB Miyan Williams out for rest of season. What does it mean for Buckeyes?

Ohio State coach Ryan Day announced Tuesday that running back Miyan Williams will miss the rest of the season after a procedure on his knee. Here’s what you need to know:

• Williams rushed for 158 yards and three touchdowns in six games this season while behind both TreVeyon Henderson and Chip Trayanum on the depth chart. He led the team in rushing in the win against Penn State.
• Last year, with Henderson limited, Williams led the Buckeyes with 825 yards and 14 TDs for the season.
• The 5-foot-9, 226-pound Williams is in his fourth season but eligible to return in 2024.

• Where does Ohio State’s running back depth stand?

• 

• Injuries at running back aren’t new for the Buckeyes. Last year, Ohio State used every scholarship back that it had and even then had to move Trayanum from linebacker to running back because of injuries to Williams and Henderson.

COLUMBUS, Ohio — Ohio State football will be without a piece of its deep running back room for the rest of this season.

Miyan Williams underwent a procedure, per coach Ryan Day, and will not play again this season. Williams played his biggest workload two weeks ago against Penn State but did not make the trip to Wisconsin last week.

“Miyan has done a lot of great things for us,” Day said. “It’s a big hit for our team and that room.”
