Ohio State Buckeyes RB Miyan Williams Out For Season
The Ohio State Buckeyes have had their fair share of injuries this season on both sides of the ball.
On Tuesday, that trend continued, with Buckeyes coach Ryan Day announcing that running back Miyan Williams will miss the remainder of the season with an injury.
"I feel really bad with Miyan, he's not going to be able to play," Day said. "He's had a procedure done. That is a big hit for that room and our team. He's done a lot of great things for our team."
The exact nature of the procedure was not revealed by Day, though he did clarify that it was "not an ACL" injury.
Williams played sparingly this season for the Buckeyes, appearing in six of the team's eight games, and rushing 49 times for 158 yards and three touchdowns.

His final outing came in the Buckeyes huge win over the Penn State Nittany Lions in Columbus, where he filled in for an injured TreVeyon Henderson and made a big impact.
In that game, Williams rushed 24 times for 62 yards and a critical touchdown run.
Williams had been a major part of the Buckeyes offense over the last few seasons, Particularly in 2022, where he played in 11 games, rushing 128 times for 825 yards and 14 touchdowns, averaging 6.4 yards per carry along the way.
Against Rutgers that season, Williams had the best game of his career, rushing 21 times for 189 yards and five touchdowns.
He was also impactful in the 2021 campaign, rushing for over 500 yards and three touchdowns on the ground, while averaging over seven yards per carry.
Williams, a senior, has now likely played his final game in a Buckeyes uniform, barring the NCAA granting some type of waiver or redshirt status.
