Ohio State releases player status availability information for Rutgers game

The fine folks at Ohio State have released the player status and availability report ahead of the Rutgers game. Here’s how it looks.

Every Friday Ohio State releases information on the depth chart, status and player availability for the upcoming game. That process continues in 2020 aside from the customary depth chart.

With the coronavirus pandemic still creating havoc in the world of sports and beyond, this status report takes on even more meaning as teams across the country try to make sure they have enough personnel to play contests without putting each other at risk.

As you would expect, the list of unavailable players has grown since the start of the season, but the good news is that OSU continues to be in relatively good shape.

Cameron Brown is out after suffering an Achilles injury against the Nittany Lions. It also looks like kicker Blake Huebiel is not available as he deals with a groin injury.

All in all though, the team looks really healthy overall and it looks like Justin Hilliard is now available as well after a false-positive COVID-19 result last week.

Here’s what we’ve been told by the fine folks at Ohio State.
