Per several sources, the presumptive starting tailback for Ohio State this coming fall has suffered an injury and will be out the remainder of the spring.
According to sources cited by Eleven Warriors, Teague sustained an Achilles injury on Monday, the first day of spring practice. The severity of it is not known at this time, nor is a timetable or whether he’ll be ready for the fall. Obviously, if it’s a complete tear, that’s a completely different story with a long rehabilitation schedule than something that’s just precautionary.
Either way, it appears it’s enough for the coaching staff to put the 5-11, 220 pounder on the shelf for now.
With Marcus Crowley already listed as unavailable, and with this news, Ohio State is now down to just one scholarship back to go through all of spring. There is help arriving when those that are banged up come off injury, and Miyan Williams will be joining the team in the fall, but things are sketchy at best right now in the running backs room.
No Master Teague for the spring.
Ohio State's running back group during yesterday's practice featured Teague, Steele Chambers and walk-ons. Seems suboptimal. https://t.co/W6GGtCuoxh
