Ohio State will resume team activities Tuesday as it hopes to play later this week at Michigan State.
The fourth-ranked Buckeyes paused activities Friday night and canceled Saturday's game at Illinois after a rise in COVID-19 cases in the program. Ohio State hasn't revealed specific numbers of those who have tested positive, although coach Ryan Day is among them and will not coach in person if the Michigan State game takes place Saturday in East Lansing, Michigan.
Ohio State (4-0) likely needs to play this week and next week against Michigan to reach the six-game minimum required to qualify for the Big Ten championship game.
