Ryan Day gives major Ohio State injury updates

The Ohio State Buckeyes were without several key defensive players during their blowout win over the Michigan State Spartans on Saturday night, but it sounds like the Buckeyes are expected to get most of them back by the time the team takes on the Michigan Wolverines in two weeks.

Ohio State was missing starting linebacker Tommy Eichenberg and starting safeties Josh Proctor and Lathan Ransom During his postgame press conference on Saturday. During his postgame press conference on Saturday, Ryan Day gave a little bit of an update on each player, revealing that Eichenberg and Proctor should be back “soon” but Ransom’s injury could be more “long-term.”

“It’s not long-term, but it will be week-to-week, and we feel like we’re gonna get him back here soon,” Day said when asked about Eichenberg according to Eleven Warriors. “Lathan’s more long-term, but I think with Proc, we’re gonna get him back here real soon.”

Ransom was seen on the sideline with his foot in a boot and his leg up on a rolling cart during Saturday night’s game, adding to the speculation that he could be out for a longer period of time.

Obviously, the Buckeyes would like to be as close to full strength as possible for the upcoming matchup with Michigan.
