Ohio State's defensive line might be right back to full strength this Saturday.
Starting defensive end Kenyatta Jackson Jr. missed the second half of the Buckeyes' game against Minnesota this past weekend, but Ryan Day said in his press conference Tuesday that the senior could be back in the fold when Ohio State plays at Illinois.
"Definitely a chance (he'll be back)," Day said. "We'll see how today goes. But we're hopeful he plays on Saturday."
Jackson delivered a massive hit to Minnesota quarterback Drake Lindsey in the first half of the game, but went down following the blow and lay on the ground for several minutes in some pain.
