Ohio State's Running Back Miyan Williams Out for Season Due to Knee Surgery
Injury rattles third-ranked Buckeyes as other key players, including quarterback Kyle McCord and receiver Emeka Egbuka, also face health uncertainties.
- Ohio State running back Miyan Williams will miss the rest of the season due to a knee surgery. The specifics of the injury that required surgery have not been discussed publicly by the team or coach Ryan Day.
- This loss is significant for the Ohio State Buckeyes, currently ranked third, where Williams along with No. 1 back TreVeyon Henderson were expected to be a strong combo this season. However, they have rarely been available at the same time due to injuries.
- Other key players on the Buckeye team are also battling injuries. Quarterback Kyle McCord was seen limping on his left ankle after last week's game, and his availability for upcoming games remains uncertain.
- Wide Receiver Emeka Egbuka, who has missed three games due to an ankle injury, is back to practicing, but was held out of last week's game as a precaution.
- The team's running back depth is a concern, with backup Chip Trayanum and Dallan Hayden potentially needing to step up. Coach Day might face a tough decision on burning Hayden's eligibility if there’s another injury, although Hayden can still play in two more games and preserve his redshirt status.
