The Ohio State football program doesn’t share a traditional injury report any longer in the days leading up to the next game, but it does provide an availability report hours before kickoff, and we just got the latest for the Michigan State contest on the road.
Of course, everyone is interested in whether Jaxon Smith-Njigba can go this week, and the answer to that appears to be no. But that’s not the only big name out. Defensive back Jordan Hancock is also listed as unavailable and so is running back Miyan Williams who just set a program record with five touchdowns last week.
Here is the rest of the availability report shared by the fine folks at Ohio State today.

With Williams out and with TreVeyon Henderson coming back from being banged up, we might see freshman Dallan Hayden a lot more than usual. At the wideout position, we’ll see Emeka Egbuka, Marvin Harrison Jr, and Julian Fleming getting a lot of targets.
