Outside of the obvious questions about when the Ohio State football team will be able to resume practices and whether the season will continue as scheduled, one of the biggest uncertainties currently surrounding the Buckeyes is whether Master Teague will be healthy enough to play this fall.
Before the coronavirus outbreak shut down spring practices and put sports across the country on pause, the greatest adversity the Buckeyes were facing this spring were their injuries at running back, where they were down to just one healthy scholarship player in Steele Chambers.
Now, what Ryan Day once described as “a little bit of a crisis” feels like a minor worry in the grand scheme of things, both because of what’s happening in the world beyond sports and because of the Buckeyes’ addition of Oklahoma graduate transfer Trey Sermon, which gives Ohio State a strong option to start at running back regardless of whether Teague is healthy.
