Ohio State's TreVeyon Henderson Expected to Return Against Penn State; Denzel Burke and Emeka Egbuka Sidelined Due to Injuries

Star running back's return expected to reinvigorate Ohio State's offense, while the absence of top pass-defender might expose the defense in high-stakes game against Penn State.

• TreVeyon Henderson, Ohio State's star running back, is expected to return against Penn State after missing two games due to an undisclosed injury. His return is seen as a boost to Ohio State's run game, which has struggled in his absence.
• Despite Henderson's expected return, other injuries may pose challenges for Ohio State. Denzel Burke, the team's top cornerback, and Emeka Egbuka, star wide receiver, are expected to miss the game against Penn State.
• Denzel Burke has been a vital element of Ohio State's defense, with a record of seven pass break-ups this season and one interception. His absence could provide an opportunity for Penn State's offense.
• Emeka Egbuka, who is projected to be a top 50 NFL Draft pick next year, has been a reliable target in Ohio State's passing game with 22 catches for 303 yards and three touchdowns this year. His absence would mean the likely loss of a crucial starter.
• Other key players, including Miyan Williams and Chip Trayanum, are also expected to return, potentially providing additional support to Ohio State's run game.
